Why can't I say @#%$
I've noticed on a couple of posts that the ezboard programming overwrites four letter words - Talk about a nanny state - I didn't fight in two world wars for this! (quite true, I've never done any kind of military service - flat feet you see)
Seriously though, what is it that makes some words taboo and others not ? I remember watching a programme on TV recently about the attrocities in concentration camps, shown without comment - then the comedy programme after it was flagged with the warning "viewers may find the strong language offensive."

@#%$, bastard, whores-@#%$, arse, twat, wanker, @#%$, crap, flid, spaz, retard, my hole, pog mo thoin, mun as tu amadante piteog, diabhul duch, incidently readers the word @#%$ comes from Ireland (TRUE) back in the 1800's prositutes caught soliciting would be charged with 'For Unlawfull Carnal Knowledge',of course the Irish being realistic abbreviated it to F.U.C.K and even now in the republic you can be charged with Unlawfull Carnal Knowledge (any one remember the X case) So 'for unlawfull carnal knowledge off ',the censorship cuntz who are trying to ucking silence me the ucking arseholes
my parents @#%$ kinky style
Damn, I wish I had a copy of the OED. Then I could make a credible cite. Anyway, my teacher told us that it was those black-and-white buckles freaks (or the puritans) were the ones that came up with f.u.c.k. Same abbreviation and all. They'd put the word on a plaque, and nail it to their local pillory so the whole village can know what the sick freak locked up did. You know, like wearing colours or showing emotion. That kind of wierd @#%$.
Now, what you say may be true and that f.u.c.k. was a crime held by all courts on the Isles, but that put your reference off by a few centuries. And I rather doubt the accuracy of your statement. True, mine isn't really the more credible, but I think it is the more likely. I mean who else but boring losers like the puritans would come up with such a silly crime? And certainly not way back in the 1600's or so. I mean, it was only relatively recently that the oldest profession was made an outlawed profession.
hmmm I need to make a library run. This whole thing has got me curious as to the validity of either of our statements.
so what your saying is your going to the library to research F.U.C.K.I.N.G. I'm sure they have some books with diagrams and pictures that might help you out.

re: my parents @#%$ kinky style
Well I'll be @#%$. Apparently @#%$ isn't an acronym at all. We were both wrong. It seems to come from the German fokken (to breed cattle) or some such word that sounds similar. Oh well.
So go forth into the world, my Children, and put a stop to the further perpetration of such ignorant thought!
hey you posted at the exact same time.
Go forth and go breed some cattle why dontcha...but you can see why they changed it to F.U.C.K...
(just doing that so this thing shows it..)
breeding cattle just isnt a turn on. not for me at least.
this is reminding me more and more of 'everything you always wanted to know about sex but were afraid to ask' and the sheep.
re: grins
Don't forget to duck my slide-rule girl!
Actually they do have diagrams and the like for such subjects. I've found medical books detailing (that means pictures) the sort of objects found in the human rectal cavity. I once read an article about a woman that gave birth to a pound or two of shrimp. (The details of that one are pretty damn disgusting) You'd be suprised the kinds of stuff you can find browsing the shelves in your local library. I've found books in the nonfiction section that read like SF stories. It's pretty damn cool.
(and why the hell is everybody cursing so damn much in this thread. You guys shouldn't curse. It's not @#%$ good for ya.)
hey, we might as well be IM'ing each other
Well it doesn't have to be the german word for cow sex, but basically it cums from a word that means 'two animals (human or otherwise) going at it like monkeys on crack'.
You know, it's wierd. We think the Scots are having sex with the sheep, they think the Aussies are having sex with the sheep. Aussies think New Zealanders are having sex with the sheep, and vice versa. Frankly, I think its the sheep who are the sluts.
f?ck*
dunno about breeding cattle, but the new high german word for "@#%$" is "ficken", the root of which is "fick" (we always stick "-en" to verbs). AFAIK it once meant "to move back and forth rapidly" or something like that, which would explain... something. There also is a rather old-fashioned adjective, "fickerig" (roughly, "fuckish" , meaning "restless/twitching". I believe "fick" is where @#%$ comes from, or both came from that "fokken" that I know nothing about because I'm too lazy to do any research.

Well, you would know better than I sweetheart. I'm only fluent in two languages: english and bad english and my butt's roots are too firmly planted in this here chair to bother to go find a credible cite.
So, anybody here up for a night of beer and vomiting?
