What does FUCK mean in Scrabble?
verb
offensive
To have sexual intercourse — the strongest common vulgarity.
Fuck is Germanic and much older than the story that it began as an acronym, which is invented and dates from the internet. It was written down rarely for four centuries precisely because it was strong, so the early record is thin and misleads people into thinking the word is recent. Its grammar is what makes it unusual: almost no other English word works as verb, noun, adjective, adverb and infix alike.
