uhm.. no.. well, being german myself I can confirm that it means "I would hit it" whatever that's supposed to mean :?: .. well you also could translate "schlagen" into "beat" so it could also mean something like "I would beat it" in terms of making something in a better way

lol the german word for "to beat" has the significance of "to make better"? lol that's still cool. Maybe it's english slang put to german, because to hit someone can mean sexing them?

well actually I thought it would also be english slang, something like saying "beat this!" to your buddy when you accomplished a new record say in NeedForSpeed or something. 8)

[edit] did I get this right, "to hit someone" can mean to have sex with him/her in english? [/edit]

The original meaning behind the word "fuck" was to "hit hard," so there ya go.
This sentence has thirty-two letters.

I heard it was "Fornication Under Consent of King" and was written on people's doors for some reason as stigma in the middle ages?

Fuck is an Old English word which means "to sow a seed" (as in farming). "To sow" means to scatter seeds, similar to the process of a male ejaculating in to a female.

Popular etymologies agree, unfortunately incorrectly, that this is an acronym meaning either Fornication Under

never heard of the under king one before superh and lynxer, i've definetly never heard that one before, but there may be some truth in both or in all three, the version i heard was a legal term during the early 18th and 19th century for rape and child abuse involving sexual intercourse. Again, its from ye olde englishe

Greeks used the word as "bashing roughly" or something...Was this mentioned earlier?

Usage "Fuck the tree," meaning "ram the tree until it falls" or something...Read it in some book for an Ancient Greece class a few years ago.

I cannot remember for the life of me where I read this, but I read that fuck is derived from fuchen, (sounds German?) which was ultimately derived from some Greek word with a meaning not unlike what Ryno just described.
