The word “Fuck.” Where did it come from?
Why is it a bad word? I had to know. 🖕 So did some fucking digging.
What the *&@%!
We all have our favorite curse words to use when we’re feeling angry, frustrated, upset, excited, surprised.
Curse words give us a colorful vocabulary but, where did those filthy (yet cathartic) expressions come from? Well, I went on a quest to look into some of the most common cus words. Fuck, first — Here we go.
Having sex is fucking. But it is used in other ways that are not romantic at all. They are downright mean!
Sex is a word maybe should represent love and having babies. I mean, that is what happens when two people or animals do it. Egg meets sperm and it’s magic. It should be a beautiful thing, right? So where’d the anger and hostility come from by using the word FUCK?
I learned the f-word at school in about the 5th grade.
The hippy thing was blowing up in California. Tons of new things were blossoming in society. Pant had bell bottoms. Mini-skirts. Long hair.
Peace, not war was the thing. The word, “Groovy” was brand new and so strange, but so cool.
Even the word, “Cool” had a new meaning. It was no longer about the temperature or a breeze, an outfit or a person could be cool. “Far-out” and “Man” were also huge!
So I came home from school and asked my mom, “What does Fuck mean?” She told me, it’s a bad word. Never say that word.
But that’s what school is for. So I learned what fuck meant and what sex is from my friends. People seemed so angry when they used the word.
What’s The Origin Of The F-word?
