Well, it seems we have here another example of a word in one language
finding its way into another. Most of you must have seen all the articles
about "nuking" newsgroups. Interesting of course is that the aftereffects
of the actions described by the two words are quite the opposite.

Given the subject and the in-depth theories unfolded about the origin of
the word "fuck" I wonder how this ever got into a net.jokes subgroup. I
think this discussion should be moved to the newsgroups where it belongs:
net.rec (net.rec.nude?) and net.religion....

BTW I wonder why so many Americans write freely about "nuking" whilst on
the other hand in their infinite "decency" they write about "f**king"???
(Maybe THIS belongs in net.politics...)
