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.

It is generally used to refer to someone who appears on the outside (Velvet glove) to manage with a gentle manner. But on the inside (iron fist) they are truly a firm, perhaps even harsh, dictator.\n\nIn some instances, this can be a compliment. Sometimes it's desirable to find a manager who can really hold the line and be firm, but be a pretty nice guy about it.\n\nBut sometimes, it is used to describe hypocritical management/organizations that put on the good face, but then come down hard when things aren't done their way.

"WASP" is an old acronym for "White Anglo Saxon Protestant."  I think its kind of a hoity toity way of referring to somebody as part of the "establishment."  I think, in the context you describe, it means uptight, rigid, traditional, narrow-minded.

First, it means more than one person talking. Then it means talking about "something specific". For example, all the people on Yahoo Answers could discuss why so many people asking questions don't have a clue how to spell or how to express what they are actually seeking!\n\nOnce you have a subject, some participants (at least 2) and a forum (your kitchen table, Yahoo Answers, a classroom, etc.) you talk and debate the issue, which means there will usually be disagreements in a discussion because you are trying to look all sides (aspects) of the subject.
