Yes, sorry, “futuo”
im not sure if this is correct, but I’ve heard that the word “fuck” was used to as a verb for preparing the fields for the seasons crops. ex: Joe Bob fucked the corn fields before sowing the seeds.
I’ve heard that too but my impression was that it only referred to livestock.
corporate_america_sux, where did you hear that? Doesn’t seem to make any sense. In fact, “sowing his seed” is a euphamism for screwing around, so if you reversed that expression you would use “fuck” to mean planting, not tilling.
As for why we use fuck as an epithet, it goes back to the prudish christian influences that said sex is bad unless it’s for procreation, and even then you shouldn’t enjoy it. Therefore, it’s not something talked about in “polite” society. And since it’s rude, it becomes a useful way to express displeasure or cast insult. You want society to know you’re not happy? Make them reel by laying out a “nasty” word you shouldn’t say in public. Telling someone off? Use the impolite expressions. It’s a similar reason for using “Damn you” etc to invoke the wrath of god. Ah, the cutural baggage we drag around.
The line omitted from the above lyrics is “…so just use the word m’kay!”
For the uninitiated, the song above is sung (with the kids) by the school counseler, who ends almost every sentence he speaks with “m’kay” (corruption of “OK,” I suppose)…
…m’kay?..
