Kennedy I have not heard of 'fokken' to hit. I have heard of the acronym, but from the little research that I have done on it, the acronym came after the word. The acronym was used in the military.
What I was referring to was an old Anglo or Teutonic or such word. Remanents of it exist in some languages. It is 'fog' ((with the 'o' like the o in old), 'fug' (which was a word but someone in the military re-invented it) , 'fuk'. Basically, these all meant 'mating or copulating like an animal, indiscriminate mating'. Most of the time in our modern culture it means, 'have something undesirable done to you' as in 'fuck you'. It is also used to upset or 'freak-out' someone, where the expression 'freaking bad' etc may come from. To me, the use of these words, whether called 'swearing' (not the correct definition), 'naughty' (again to me wrong) or vulgarisms. What is the intent? As an aside, why do some people who claim to be good church goers, Christians, etc, say "Cripes","Cheeze", and "Oh my God"? The first two have the same intent as 'Christ!', 'Jesus', while the second is, in most cases, using the Lord's name in vain. So again, what is one person's fish is another's poisson(poison).
