'Fucking', or 'Fokken' in old Anglo-Saxon, literally meant 'the banging of two objects together', and was their slang term for sexual intercourse (Gee. We wonder how they associated that with banging?). Come the Norman Conquest of 1066, the Normans wanted them to say 'coitus'. But the Anglo-Saxons would have none of it. The Normans wanted them to say 'merde', rather than 'shytte'. And they wanted them to stop drinking whiskey, beer, and gin--and instead, take up drinking fermented grape juice. But the Anglo-Saxons would have none of their bloody fokken shytte, and soon had the Normans drinking whiskey, beer, and gin, thus Anglo-Saxonizing the Normans (who also took to saying 'shytte',and 'fuck'. But for some reason, the Church continued to frown on the use of Anglo-Saxon slang words.And the idea that they are inherently 'bad' continues a thousand years later!
