The actual etymological origins of 'fuck' are not 100% agreed upon by scholars but this much in known.  'Fuck' was never derived from any acronyms whatsoever.  The 'For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge' tag for adultry, the 'Found Under Carnal Knowledge' for unsolved or unknown sex crimes or medical disease cases and the aforemenetioned, 'Fornication Under Consent of the King' are false and nothing more than interesting, humorous, urban myths that get passed along through the years.

Some scholars think the word may have been derived from the German 'ficken' which resulted in the Dutch 'fokken' which means to strike or penetrate quickly.  But others argue this would not explain the presence of the term in some countries that do not have Germanic word origins at all.   Other scholars wonder about a possible root combination of the Latin 'futere' and the Indo 'pecula' (which means 'to prick').

The fact is that the actual origin is not known and may never be known.  However there is no doubt whatsoever that the common acronyms usually attributed to 'fuck' are falsehoods...

Meaning when a ball goes off the fairway and into the woods.

Or at least this is how my father explained it to me when I used to tag along with him on Saturday mornings.

But then they dropped the "Central" and just became FUK....
