It's one thing writing a 3-liner (no pun) like I did, but I can't believe someone could be bothered to prepare all that tripe.

Incidentally, in the UK the clothing company "French Connection" have a line in apparel, with fcuk written on it (standing for "French Connection UK"). Last week I saw an Irish lass with "fcek - The Irish Connection" on her T-shirt. Made me laugh.

(In case you don't get it, the Irish say "feck" as a less offensive version of the subject word).

>>One drivation (possibly apochryphal) I've heard is it stands for "Port Outward - Starboard Home" dating back to rich liner passengers who had the cabins facing away from the dock. Of course, this assumes that ships always berth facing a particular way and doesn't really make sense to me.
