The Poll to End All Polls
Covetous:
I'm still hoping for an ending where everyone dies.
BeoPuppy:
Fun to see the site's owner remarks turn into a nice debate on the origin of the word 'fuck'.
'Bumschen' , by the way.

Thank you. Never took German, and it's hard to look up stuff like that. Ya skazal tolko po Russkie. And very badly, at that.

On the contrary, the verb to fuck comes to us from the German ficken (to fuck) with cognates in Dutch (fokken) , Norweigein, (fukka) and Swedish (fokka.)
For unlawful carnal knowledge and Fornication under consent of the King came later, and only work with modern English, which the word fuck certainly predates
and while we're being pedantic, acronym is spelled with a 'y'.

What ARE you talking about? Fukka is not a Norwegian word. I am Norwegian, I would know. Pretty sure that Swedish word is wrong to, but I wouldn't bet on it. Where you lot would say "fuck", we use the swearword "faen" or "faen ta", derived from an old word for Satan. Some people also use the loanword "fuck", with the English pronunciation.

It's bumsen. No caps and no ch. A Bumschen would porbably be a small fuck. (The noun, not the verb.)
