One of the most taboo words in English?

I don't think the origin is correct. It is Germanic, inasmuch as English is a Germanic language. But my understanding is that it appeared as early as the 13th or 14th century in written texts. Now it may be around the King's consent. That was an ancient 'custom' where a King had the right to de-flower a woman before her wedding day to one of his subjects. Pretty barbaric, but it happened, almost exclusively in Sweden.

The King’s consent thing appears to be an urban myth which has been disproved.

Disproved by historians or the internet? Also, I've also been more inclined to the belief that it was For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, a violation of the Church law.
Also, as a general rule of thumb, very few words originally derive from acronyms, and those that do are relatively new ones.
I agree that acronyms are relatively recent in history, but I'm not sure that closes the case. I always found this one interesting. I just read the "Snopes" on this, but I think the author makes a conclusion based on a bad assumption. He says the because the stocks would treat the word "for" as superfluous, it can't be the origin. That seems like rather silly evidence, using that as your only reason. Now it's hard to prove a negative, proving that something didn't exist, so I get that. I'm still going to use it though.

I've believed this for the better part of 30 years. Internet hacks won't convince me of otherwise. Now if a true historian or etymologist comes out with something (if they bother), then probably. Until then, I'll continue to have fun with it.
FWIW Brian, I don't think we've crossed any line and aren't at risk of getting banned from this conversation.
Like I already said, I do think there are real reasons to be very concerned about the honeybee die off, if what you are concerned about is the food supply/agriculture (but also about the ecosystem in general). And I really think we need to be concerned about that, especially as I also think we are RIGHT on the edge of some really serious problems because of climate change. We need all the successful crops we can get right now. But also, other pollinators are indeed dying off. Here are a couple articles:
I should add.... isn't a whole species, whatever it is, becoming threatened and going through a massive die-off a legit thing to feel outraged about in any case, especially considering the fact that pesticide use is a major factor in it happening?

as a guy who was about 15 when that album came out, I wholeheartedly disagree that it sucked. it was on constant rotation in my buddy's mustang to and from the beach every weekend.
and to answer your next question, yes, i was still a flaming virgin at the end of that summer. But FUCK ROCKED!

Is that nostalgia or can you still say it's good?
I haven't listened to VH in years, and don't really care to, it's not my thing anymore, but I honestly think it's still a really good record.
I'm going to put on that record just for giggles later. I'll report back tomorrow.
