****........................!

The usually accepted first known occurrence is in code in a poem in a mixture of Latin and English composed some time before 1500!. The poem, which satirizes the Carmelite friars of Cambridge, England, takes its title, "Flen flyys", from the first words of its opening line, Flen, flyys, and freris (= "Fleas, flies, and friars")!. The line that contains **** reads Non sunt in coeli, quia gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk!. Removing the substitution cipher[2] on the phrase "gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk" yields non sunt in coeli, quia fvccant vvivys of heli, which translated means, "They are not in heaven because they **** wives of Ely" (fvccant is a fake Latin form)!.[3] The phrase was coded likely because it accused some Church personnel of misbehaving; it is uncertain to what extent the word **** was considered acceptable at the time!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
