Interestingly, if you go back to 1500, the apparent frequency of “fuck” was pretty high there for a while. I think that had to do with how “s” looked in older fonts/typography. So a misreading of “suck”. https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=fuck&year_start=1500&year_end=2000&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2Cfuck%3B%2Cc0
