Wowsers! Did you know that a favourite expletive of the modern age descends from an abbrevaition of medieval times in England?
The word F*CK was an abbreviation written of the foreheads of fornicators before they were put in the stocks, it meant Full Understanding of Carnal Knowledge. A huge and punishable sin for non married people in those times! It was abbreviated so even those with no reading skills could learn and see the crime.
p.s. Add the capital letters together in the explanation to make the word!

Be handled to an unique San Francisco knowledge and discover why you need to visit that town with hotelbye . In San Francisco you are able to look at the popular Golden Gate Bridge how was after named "the link that could not be built" and how is today one the eight miracles of the current world. That magnificent link is San Francisco's most popular landmark. In San Francisco you may also go to the Lombard Street. Often named the “crookedest” road on earth, that scenic road on Russian Hill functions small converts, fresh gardens and beautiful views of the bay and Alcatraz. San Francisco is surely a town that may surprise you and wherever you will have the right holyday.
