	It may seem logical that it comes from fricken, but it does not.
Believe it or not, the Roman Catholic Church came up with the acronym
(actually, they defined it, and someone shortend it to be an acronym).
By the way, did you know there was a pope that died while having sex in
some bizzare chair (see ``Book of Lists'').  Now back to ``fricken''--
it is:

	F ornication
	U nder
	C arnal
	K nowlegde

Ah the things you learn at a catholic school.
