Earliest use of fuck....
A British historian has revealed the earliest recorded use of the Anglo-Saxon swearword “f*ck.” Extensive trawling of historical tracts for the naughty bits found the first use of the word with its sexual connotations dates from court records in 1310.
The document in question concerns a man with the unfortunate name of Roger Fuckebythenavele, which senior research fellow at Keele University Dr Paul Booth discovered accidentally while researching the reign of Edward II.
Initially Booth believed the name was a joke made up by the court clerk, he told the MailOnline, but after finding the surname Fuckebythenavele three times he changed his mind.
“I think that shows it is not a joke,” he said.
“Either it refers to an inexperienced copulator, referring to someone trying to have sex with the navel, or it’s a rather extravagant explanation for a dimwit, someone so stupid they think that this is the way to have sex,” he added.
