- I've heard from an artsie friend that the original inhabitants of Britain
- (the Angles and Saxons) used the word FUCK as a normal part of their language. When the
- Normans came over and conquered, English went underground and was spoken only in the fields,
- with French in the castles and palaces. therefore, Fuck became LOW class.
-
- So the word is merely an anachronism. Feel free to use it.
