[cube 20b]

>>Give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination
Will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A Kiss to build a dream on<< louis armstrong's "a kiss to build a dream on"

the origins of fucker
in my book, "Imperial San Francisco", I learned where the word fucker comes from. Here goes:
Way back during the European Industrial Revolution, a banker named Jacob A. Fugger II from Central Germany became very powerful and even lent money to royalty so they could finance mining projects and make more money; mines, of course, meant that slaves had to be employed to dig around doing backbreaking work in order to allow the wealthy few to eat from plates of silver and gold. Thus, Fugger was eventually so hated that his name became "synonymous with monopolists responsible for public woes. In English, the name became "Fucker".

And so it goes, the f-word stems from hatred for the Man.
