i learnt something today...

it may be a bit too vulgar and censored for some of ya,

but on a different perspective, it is kind of knowledge-enhancing

and....

well,

actually,

whatever....

i just wanna say it.

And it in this case,

involves the word "F***"

apparantly there's a history to it,

and it didn't have vulgar connotations attached to it either...

in fact, it was the acronym for the phrase "Fornification Under Command of the King"

"During the middle ages, after the conservatively estimated death tole of roughly 30 to 60 percent of the English population, the previously very militaristic King Edward III was faced with a shortage of manpower and with it, food supplies, infrastructure, and (probably most important to the king) public sentiment. Understandingly the list of offenses requiring death were shortened as adding insult to injury was not in the king's favor.
One method proposed to him for alleviating the population scarcity was "fornication under consent of the king" whereby, for a time, the crime of unlawful fornication was stricken from punishment if the person in question was unmarried. It was the hope that the royal decree (basically a scare tactic) would encourage more people to wed and in turn have children."

well, that's a thought to chew on...
