Whilst I take your point, how come it is not acceptable to swear on here, but a largeportion of posters think it is fine to swear on the terraces? I'd wager more kids are exposed to the swearing at Christie than on here.

Would this be the 'F' word that has been used in English since the 15th Century, or 300 years before the colony existed? Probably descended from a German or Dutch word.

I'm not sure about the actual word F*** ; but I remember reading somewhere that the origins of the 'V' sign dates back to the long bows and warfare with those French savages. I think if they captured an English archer they would cut off his index and adjoining finger, so he couldn't use the long bow again.
When ready for battle the archers would raise said fingers in the air towards the French to let them know they had the fingers and were ready for action - so presumably it wasn't associated with the F*** word then. Interesting and plausable - not sure of its authenticity though ?
Sadly, while this is an excellent story, it is also complete bollox.
I know this because it was on QI once!

Was it when Thatcher was destroying our working class? Or was it before when our empire was inflicting 'civilisation' on other countries. You're a fine example of the kind of cretin who can't see past his own glasses that rings into the Jeremey Vine show every day.
