Answer 3

It is certainly not an acronym, urban legends maintaining that are just that: legends.

The problem with the history of obscene words is that, since they are taboo, they tend not to appear in written sources until long after they have been current in spoken language. Therefore it is often difficult to find a written trail dating far back.

The English verb appears around 1500 in written sources and is probably a loanword from German, where its equivalent curiously also does not appear in written documents before roughly the same time. Similar verbs with the meaning 'to sweep, to rub', however, are to be found in earlier German documents, and it is easy to see how that meaning could have taken on an obscene connotation.

In German, however, the verb spelled with the vowel "u" does not mean anything obscene (or anything at all), so that, to the amusement of Anglophones, an Austrian village has this sign with its name (with an additional sign promoting slower driving for the kids' sake saying literally: "Not so fast, please" adding to the joke in English:

Answer 4

No one knows when it was "invented", if that's the right term for the making of a word. But the Oxford English Dictionary shows that it has been used in English for hundreds of years.

Answer 5

I do not know. But I do know that the word was actually used on public posters as far back as the Salem witch trials. If you look for info on witches, you may see examples of these. They would say things like, "If anyone is found guilty of "f-ing" a woman proven to be a witch, he shall be hanged..." and so forth. I was alarmed to find the word used so casually. The posters I mentioned may have actually been in England, I'm not sure. But I remember vividly that they warned that "f-ing" a witch was forbidden. In any case, it goes as far back as the King James english. I hope this helps. Good luck and don't "f" any witches!

Shoot! I just saw that Captain Jack gave a much more detailed answer than me! Pooh! There go my points! :(
