You could have claimed it though I don't fact check

...good trait for a mod

 

[Hidden Blaze]

What’s fact checking? I just believe whatever I want and disbelieve whatever I want. Fuck facts

#FuckFact number 1: the Oscar nominated movie with the most uses of the word "fuck", as well as the greatest density of fucks, is The Wolf of Wall Street, with 569 fucks at 3.16 fucks/min

I just watched that again a couple weeks ago too

#FuckFact number 2: the earliest known use of "fuck" to mean sex was in 1310-1311, where English court records mention a man who'd been given the name "Roger Fuckebythenavele", probably because he was stupid

#FuckFact number 3: it's often claimed the first "fuck" on British TV was by film critic Kenneth Tyman, but apparently Irish playwright Brendan Behan said it 9 years earlier, and no one noticed it because he was drunk

#FuckFact number 4: another claimant to the first "fuck" on British TV was Miriam Margoyles (The Age of Innocence), who said it in frustration on an episode of University Challenge.

 

[Death By Looch]

That last one doesn't sound right

 

[Leon TrotSky]

#FuckFact number 5: "fuck" wasn't considered the most obscene word for sex for most of its existence, that being "swive". It has the same derivation as "swivel", meaning to revolve, so it's basically a Ye Olde equivalent for "screw"
