This isn't a reply directed at Wanny, but am I hearing everyone right that we're basing our knowledge of what curse words/phrases were and were not used in medival times based on Hollywood movies? I'm not going to make any claims as to whether or not the knights and barons of old used to ride around on their stallions shouting "Fuck you!" at the invading armies, but really... Could we at least quote some historical works? The scripts for those movies are modernized so that the 99% of movie-going America that isn't interested in historical accuracy can identify with what is going on. Really, people. Shame on you.
