FACT
profane words in English have their origin in Anglo roots before the Saxon invasion (the only time in modern history the island of Brittania was ever conquered)
The Saxons attempted to destroy the "primitive" Anglo language by viewing any reference to the old language as being unsavory or vulgar. The Anglo people were all over Europe sharing common language roots, so it should not surprise anyone that Fucking, Shit, Asshole, Fuckcunt, Shut the Fuck and Stop Trolling Me You Bitch are all originally Anglo words thousands of years old. 6/2/2011 11:25:42 PM |

Quote : | "In 2009, the European Union's OHIM trademarks agency forbade a German brewery to market a beer called "Fucking Hell". It appealed, and was granted permission in January 2010 to market the beer.[22] It claims the beer is actually named after the Austrian village Fucking and the German term for pale lager, Hell" |
