Was in a pub this evening and an Irish man was taking the piss out of us English because nobody knew where the word f*** came from. His theory: In the 18/19th century the English landowners sent what we now call bailiffs in to collect their taxes from the workers of the land in Scotland and if they arrived at their house and the couple were making love the bailiffs were unable to collect the taxes so they nailed a notice to the outside of the building stating they couldnt collect the taxes For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge hence the first letters f u c k and according to him this is still the law now. A bailff can not serve a distress warrant if a couple are making love.
I thought it quite an amusing theory.
