[jukeboxhero844]

This is ingenius!

[ThePuppetgirl12]

U need a new camera WTF

[lopytube]

thank you for some great elaboration on something so....(lets not be predictable)Good

[ihatefatchicks666]

This guy is a RETARD,

You need the middle finger to fire a LONG BOW. And doesnt fucking shoot logs you fuck.

[tonylove16]

lmfao!!

[boatdrinks1976]

ther should be a law against getting stoned and filming yourself!!

[Jeffieboi]

no there shouldn't. That's stupid.

[jaskk9007]

wow, this is pretty fucking good.

[leprechaunrockstar]

i was ready to bash the video the first 2 seconds, just because everybody within the first few seconds always goes drastically into error lol...BUT....unlike every other video that usually ends up with someone completely getting it wrong about the history of something or a subject THIS GUY actually GOT it RIGHT! even at the end, HE ACTUALLY PUT in the disclaimer of them all being more legend than anything and to DO THE RESEARCH OUSELVES...GOOD JOB MAN!....FINALLY a COMPLETELY accurate YT vid!!!

[DarkHorse2083]

I thought the middle finger came from the battle of Agincourt, fought between the French and English in 1415(Shakespeare writes about it in Henry IV). The French threatened to cut off the middle fingers of the English archers, so they couldn't draw their bows. So, when ever an English archer saw a French soldier, they would show their middle finger, and go "Fuck You!" or "Pluck you" or whatever. Similar, but I think this makes more sense, and no ballistas.

[klauzes]

I have serious doubts about shooting something the size of a tree using just your middle finger. I also pretty much doubt it was used by just a big guy, more like a small contingent of big guys. Best regards man, I enjoyed your video !

[Gwendolynisalive]

fascinating

[frankobsessed1994]

wow i did not know that but thats crazy kew!

[bluejuice12]

..wow. uhhh.. that's nice to know :P

[bluehinatafox]

[Freedom2Learn]

Please post citations

Trust but verify....sounds like urban legend stuff.

[Arajasrite]

I have also heard of it also meaning, Fornication Under Consent of King. The best example of this is in the movie Braveheart when the king "took" the new bride.

[Subfightr]

Yeah I have heard that too. It made sense to me, does not mean its true but none the less. I took it to mean marriage, which the King could tax, so if you were caught "fucking" without consint of the king (not your wife/married) you would be jailed and fined.. This would push for marriage, which would push the catholic ideas of the kings and he would get the marriage tax... Thoughts?

[Ladysivak]

Wasn't the 'f' word also used meaning to plant some long, long, time ago? Also at 1:40 it sounds like the ballista is being described.

[Ladysivak]

1:40 the ballista?

[FireEmblemMaster]

How very interesting. :3

[Herdatec]

It was in the 100year-war.

the king of france orderd to cut the middle finger of all english prisiner so they werend able to use the Longbow.

[UrzaSun]

Was worth watching this to hear you say

"Doin' some fuckin'"

Made me laugh thanks

[crazy1gun]

O.O Purple Jesus O.O

But any ways thanks for the info it was helpful.

[Mhudlow]

yeah i was told it had to do with women being alowed to be prostatutes becasue their husbands died in war and they had no other means to survive, thus they were given consent to

Fornicate

Under

Consent of the

King

[6288jointhepraty]

LOL now when I'm fucking my girlfriend...errrr I mean getting ciatations For Unlawful Carnal Knowledging her.. I can scream fuck yea fuckin bitch! and then shell kick me off and give me the finger and say...Fuck You! but Ill say you dont know how that word was discovered! Na Na Na Na Naaaaaa Na! Ha Ha Ha Ha Haaaaaa Ha!

[yazini3]

i got citation for fuckin i mean For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. lol good stuff

[gweedoone]

Now I f_ _ _ing get it

[KatsueAregomi]

Nicely done, Jared. But about the Crossbow? I'm sorry but you got it a bit wrong. It was called a Yue Bow. And they didn't say "Pluck you!" when they won, its just they taunted the other side by raising their hand and flipping them off, saying "I can still pluck the Yue!" And you also said they were told Loosely. So I'm not trying to insult you. Please understand.

[evangeliondude]

very well explaind

[ritchshan]

Yeah it was also Fornicate Under Consent of King because at one time after all the deaths in wars(dont know what war....and dont really care) the king had to re-populate the country so came up with that.. also in uk we give the middle and index finger to show the 'f' word ans not like that guy says it actually came from when we were in battles with japan soldiers they would cut off thoes 2 fingers so we couldnt use bow and arrows so we would stick em up to the japaneese and tell em to f off

[greterses]

Very cool dude ^^.

[NatSoCool]

i heard it was "Fornication Under Consent of King" too

[diogomp84]

patético!  odeio esses hippies, maconheiro fdp!

[shashwati]

Say it with pride............the next time i say the word, i'll feel proud because i know where it came from............... and the guy's right, it was kinda super lame to give the finger to the other side after you've won.........hehehe,nice imagery

[switzerland4ever]

get to a point!!! most boring video i`ve ever seen. swiss: ds fettischt schisdräck woni je ha gseh! läängwilig

[noremac53]

I herd that fuck stands for "Fornication Under Consent of King" So the king would watch as pesents banged other pesents. But this was still fucking sweet.

[shashwati]

[xtryd]

As they say in china; Fucking boring. ( Gjesp, as we say in Scandinavia)

[DFHDarktrooper]

Wow! I'm glad I found this video lol ^^

[Burnth666Priest]

GET TO THE POINT!

[mjg2007]

All I could think while watching the first 45 seconds of this was...

Who the fuck cause?

[ryanmonster]

It was actually the middle and index finger that would be held up and those were the too that got cut off.America Americanized it to be the middle only

[striker989]

[WTOP]

Well done, I now know where the word came from and how it was came to be,thanks!

[daligoddess2006]

Thanks for this informative vlog. I have read about these histories before. These stories are the reason why I think it's strange whenever people get so upset over the F-word. Knowledge is such a grand thing. Your story telling abilities are greatly appreciated.

[TheJaredWilcurt]

I'm just hoping no one thinks I rehearse or prethink anything I'm saying. all my vids that are in this style are just done on the fly

[daligoddess2006]

Wow. You're public speaking abilities are awesome then, ESPECIALLY since they are done on the fly! That is coolsome!

[gorikuri]

I've heard the law enforcement version.  I liked this video. Great topic!
