exhibit b: american heritage dictionary program, 1995, possibly inaccurate but funny anyway:
Notes: The obscenity fuck is a very old word, first recorded in English in the 15th century. Age has not dimmed its shock value, even though it is seen in print much more often now than in the past. Its first known occurrence, in a poem entitled “ Flen flyys ” written sometime before 1500, is in code, illustrating the unacceptability of the word even then.
