Why actually it is...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuck
One such legend holds that the word fuck came from Irish law. If a couple
were caught committing adultery, they would be punished "For Unlawful Carnal
Knowledge In the Nude", with "FUCKIN'" written on the stocks above them to
denote the crime.
Other explanations for fuck as an acronym for adultery offer alternative
wordings, such as "Fornication Under Carnal/Cardinal Knowledge," or
"Fornication Under [the] Control/Consent/Command of the King." Variations on
this theme include, "Fornication Under the Christian King", "False Use of
Carnal Knowledge", "Felonious Use of Carnal Knowledge", "Felonious Unlawful
Carnal Knowledge", "Full-On Unlawful Carnal Knowledge", and "Found Under
Carnal Knowledge"; and the closely related variant, "Forced Unlawful Carnal
Knowledge" a label supposedly applied to the crime of rape.
;-)
However, I don't think it was necessary to put it in the subject line,
especially since many of us get these emails at work. Not to mention, it's a
great way to get "spam filtered", since most of the pr0n spam uses such
expletives.
