I have heard it was referring to their use of the Ewe tree for bows and arrows, and when some people were caught they had fingers cut off, except for the middle fingers. They would taught their captors while shooting them saying "see! we can still pluck Ewe!"  True story, I heard it in my anthropology class.

IMHO: Swear words are invented and used for two reasons: 1. to verbally demonstrate that what you want to say should be taken more seriously than what you normally say, OR 2. to warn or threaten the listener that you are emotionally moving into a more dangerous level(physically threatening).

I'm not 100% certain, but every time I hear it I want to punch the person who said it in the face and/or run them over with my car (or a larger car).  \n\nIt's usual colloquial usage is when someone does something very rude, cruel, or generally nasty and wants to follow it up with an insincere apology thus cementing their total lack of tact.\n\nHypothetical situation:\nTwelve year old Jenny hits a volleyball lightly over the net at a family party.  Uncle Chad, who's had a few Budweisers already, leaps up and spikes the ball as hard as possible into her face.\n"My bad!"

The f-word is actually latin.  Deriving the etymology of this word is difficult, because it's been a taboo for most of its existence and citations are rare. The earliest known use, according to American Heritage and Lighter, predates 1500 and is from a poem written in a mix of Latin and English and entitled Flen flyys. The relevant line reads:\n\n    Non sunt in celi quia fuccant uuiuys of heli.\n\nTranslated:\n\n    They [the monks] are not in heaven because they f*** the wives of Ely [a town near Cambridge].\n\nFuccant is a pseudo-Latin word and in the original it is written in cipher to further disguise it.\n\nSome sources cite an alleged use from 1278 as a personal name, John le F***er, but this citation is questionable. No one has properly identified the document this name supposedly appears in and even if it is real, the name is likely a variant of fuker, a maker of cloth, fulcher, a soldier, or another similar word.\n\nThe most popular origin, however is INCORRECT is that it's beleived to have originated around the 15th century in either the English, Dutch, or low-German language.  The word's first definition appeared in 1967 when an underground newspaper called the East Village Other published this version in 1967:\n\n    "It's not commonly known that the word "f***" originated as a medical diagnostic notation on the documests of soldiers in the British Imperial Army. When a soldier reported sick and was found to have V.D., the abbreviation F.U.C.K. was stamped on his documents. It was short for "Found Under Carnal Knowledge." \n\nAnother theory suggests that in ancient England single people could not have sex unless they had consent of the king. When people wanted to have a baby, they had to get the consent of the king, and the king gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having sex. The placard had F. U. C. K. (Fornication Under Consent of the King) on it.\n\nHowever, other stories past down through the years tells a different side of things.  In Christianized Anglo-Saxon Britain, invading kings would require that their troops would rape the women in a common demoralization procedure. Because fornication was against religious law, the rapists needed special religious permission, from the king.  Pretty grusome stuff...\n\nSome more interesting theories about the word can be found at the sites below.

They were originally words that evoked the presence of God in vain;eg. Goddammit!; but newer words are often slurs that are considered extremely offensive, just as how words like Darn and Blasted were once scandalous in Victorian times.

The acronym story is a complete fabrication from the middle of the 20th century.  It is completely false.\n\nThe word is the English cognate of the Proto-Germanic word *fukan 'have intercourse' which has its ultimate origin in Proto-Indo-European *pug- 'to strike' (compare English pugilist from Latin).  The English word f*ck derived according to regular sound laws from the Proto-Germanic form and there are cognate forms in most of the other Germanic languages.  It has moved in and out of vulgarity during its long reign in the Germanic languages.  In some time periods it was simply the normal term for breeding animals.  In Modern English it is moving out of being considered quite so vulgar since it is used so commonly.

The origins of the word are explained in the transcript of a National Public Radio feature. The use of "okay" would seem to be nothing more than an alternate spelling.
