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 ). http://www.snopes.com/spoons/fracture/fuck.htm ------------------ "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." --Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977 www.geocities.com/Area51/Shire/8641/

That's fucking unbelievable.------------------ Josh: I think they're getting to know each other a bit too well, if you catch my drift. Me: Oh, I agree. I think they're spending too much time together, that is of course, if you catch my drift. Asher: I think he's *ucking her, and he's cheating on his wife, and he's risking his marriage, and if his wife finds out about it she'll leave him and take their son, and his life will be ruined. If you catch my drift...

*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. ------------------ "And give me back my evil heart so I can see you as you are." -- John Linnell

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"...
