Sol: If our membershup turns out to be too immature to be permitted access to the following knowledge, delete this thread. Keep an eye on it, anyway.

I am fascinated by etymology (the history of words) and would like to share the origin of the word most of us don't use in "polite company" (of course, I suppose some of us don't keep polite company ).

*hums*

No, I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean, but I wanted to have some sort of "Hey, I'm keeping an eye on things" statement here, and I figured humming was a perfectly acceptable activity to engage in while keeping an eye on threads.

I knew about the actual origin, but not about the mistaken beliefs about it.

Cool.

Just to educate you about profanity in foreign languages, I will now name a few Dutch words for the deed.

-Neuken (most common)
-wippen
-krikken (more of a "witty" word)
-kieren (rarely)
-naaien (second most common)
-met elkaar naar bed gaan (does this sound like a more acceptable term? Good)
-de coitus volbrengen (yet another euphemism)
- " bijslaap " (Id.)

Unfortunately, I have no information about the etymology of "neuken"...

Do you know about the "the word fuck" mp3 that's circulating? It's nice.
