is “f*ck” an english word?

This word is not in the english dictionary however it originated among the English and French knights during the Middle Ages. The english had cut-off the middle finger of captured French archers. The French, when facing the English in Battle, yelled “pluck you” which was the initial derivative or taunt that we’ve come to know. Prior to battles, the combatants used to hurl slurs against each other, eg, showing their asses and front, hurling the severed heads of their dead comrades, and yes, the f-bomb. Now you know why people always say “excuse my French” when they use the f-bomb.

This is a true story.

**** is an English word that, as a verb, literally means to engage in sexual intercourse. The word is generally considered extremely offensive.

It is unclear whether the word has always been considered vulgar, and if not, when it first started to be considered vulgar. Some evidence indicates that in some English-speaking locales it was considered acceptable as late as the 17th century meaning “to strike” or “to penetrate.”[1]. Other evidence indicates that it may have become vulgar as early as the 16th century in England, although neither set of evidence is inherently contradictory to the other, since many words have multiple connotations. The word became increasingly offensive over time because of its usage to describe (often in an extremely angry, hostile or belligerent manner) negative or unpleasant circumstances or people in an intentionally offensive way, such as in the term “motherf-er”, one of its more common usages.

**** is used not only as a verb (transitive and intransitive), but also as a noun, interjection, and, occasionally, as an expletive infix. The etymology of the word is uncertain (see below).
