Some English-speaking countries censor it on television and radio.

Hobbs considers users rather than usage of the word and sub-divides users into "non-users", for whom "the word belongs to a set of taboo words, the very utterance of which constitutes an affront, and any use of the word, regardless of its form (verb, adjective, adverb, etc.) or meaning (literal or metaphorical) evokes the core sexual meanings and associated sexual imagery that motivate the taboo."; and "users", for whom "metaphorical uses of the word fuck no more evoke images of sexual intercourse than a ten-year-old's 'My mom'll kill me if she finds out' evokes images of murder," so that the "criteria of taboo are missing."<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Etymology">Etymology</h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Germanic_cognates">Germanic cognates</h3></div> The <a href="/wiki/Oxford_English_Dictionary" title="Oxford English Dictionary">Oxford English Dictionary</a> states that the ultimate etymology is uncertain, but that the word is "probably cognate" with a number of <a href="/wiki/Germanic_languages" title="Germanic languages">Germanic</a> words with meanings involving striking, rubbing and having sex or is derivative of the <a href="/wiki/Old_French" title="Old French">Old French</a> word that meant 'to have sex'.<a href="#cite_note-oed-7">[7]</a> The word has probable <a href="/wiki/Cognate" title="Cognate">cognates</a> in other Germanic languages, such as German ficken ('to fuck'); <a href="/wiki/Dutch_language" title="Dutch language">Dutch</a> fokken ('to breed', 'to beget'); Afrikaans fok ('to fuck');<a href="#cite_note-:1-8">[8]</a> Icelandic fokka ('to mess around', 'to rush');<a href="#cite_note-:0-9">[9]</a> dialectal <a href="/wiki/Norwegian_language" title="Norwegian language">Norwegian</a> fukka ('to copulate'); and dialectal <a href="/wiki/Swedish_language" title="Swedish language">Swedish</a> focka ('to strike', 'to copulate') and fock ('<a href="/wiki/Penis" title="Penis">penis</a>').<a href="#cite_note-oed-7">[7]</a> This points to a possible etymology where <a href="/wiki/Common_Germanic" class="mw-redirect" title="Common Germanic">Common Germanic</a> *fuk(k)ōn-from the verbal root *fug- ('to blow')<a href="#cite_note-:0-9">[9]</a> comes from an <a href="/wiki/Indo-European_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Indo-European language">Indo-European</a> root *peuk-, or *peuĝ- ('to strike'),<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> cognate with non-Germanic words such as Latin pugno ('I fight') or pugnus ('fist').<a href="#cite_note-oed-7">[7]</a> By application of <a href="/wiki/Grimm%27s_law" title="Grimm's law">Grimm's law</a>, this hypothetical root also has the Pre-Germanic form *pug-néh2- ('to blow'),<a href="#cite_note-:0-9">[9]</a> which is the etymon of, amongst others, Dutch fok(zeil) ('foresail').<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> There is a theory that fuck is most likely derived from German or Dutch roots, and is probably not derived from an Old English root.<a href="#cite_note-Sheidlower1998-12">[12]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="False_etymologies">False etymologies</h3></div> One reason that the word fuck is difficult to trace etymologically is that it was used far more extensively in common speech, rather than in easily traceable documents or writings. There exist multiple <a href="/wiki/Urban_legends" class="mw-redirect" title="Urban legends">urban legends</a> that advance <a href="/wiki/False_etymology" title="False etymology">false etymologies</a>, including the word allegedly being an <a href="/wiki/Acronym" title="Acronym">acronym</a>.

A variant of this legend alleges church clerks to have recorded the crime of "Forbidden Use of Carnal Knowledge". Another legend places the origin on a royal permission allegedly granted during the <a href="/wiki/Middle_Ages" title="Middle Ages">Middle Ages</a>. Due to the <a href="/wiki/Black_Death" title="Black Death">Black Death</a> and the consequent scarcity of resources, villages and towns supposedly attempted to control population growth by requiring permission to engage in intercourse.

This story is not supported by written evidence, and has been proven false, but has persisted in oral and literary traditions for many years.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> Another legendary etymology, first made popular by the <a href="/wiki/Radio_in_the_United_States" title="Radio in the United States">American radio</a> show <a href="/wiki/Car_Talk" title="Car Talk">Car Talk</a>, says that the phrase fuck you derives from pluck yew in connection with a misconception regarding the <a href="/wiki/V_sign#Origins" title="V sign">origins of the V sign</a>. This misconception states that English archers believed that those who were captured by the French had their index and middle fingers cut off so that they could no longer operate their <a href="/wiki/English_longbow" title="English longbow">longbows</a>, and that the V sign was used by uncaptured and victorious archers in a display of defiance against the French. The addition of the phrase fuck you to the misconception came when it was claimed that the English yelled that they could still pluck yew, (<a href="/wiki/Taxus_baccata" title="Taxus baccata">yew</a> wood being the preferred material for longbows at the time), a phrase that evolved into the modern fuck you.<a href="#cite_note-Sheidlower1998-12">[12]</a> In any event, the word fuck has been in use far too long for some of these supposed origins to be possible.
