Please see "Edit" above. Best link I could find between intervals of sleep. If you demand more, I'll search later today.

"Felony Under Carnal Knowledge" (booking acronym used to avoid the word "prostitution" which was good for business)
Edit: Learned the meaning a few weeks ago from a neighbor who suggested this acronym was eventually coined as an urban slang word because of its onomatopoetic finality [with the hard "k" sound]; users providing its lascivious connotation.

Wikipedia makes sense. You've read it, haven't you?

Edit Note: The previous page link http://doa.louisiana.gov/osr/lac/22v01/22v01.pdf
does reference a similar acronym relating to juveniles in the Louisiana State Law.

Apology taken.
Factoids are creepy animals...
Lessons Learned: 1) Confirmation: In my early twenties one of our bosses at Colgate Palmolive's Medical/Surgical Products Division, Dick Powers, said to me once concerning a report on manufacturing operations which he instinctively sensed contained significant fudged data errors: "Bobby, go back to those foreman and superintendents and question them strongly." Shame on me for not verifying my neighbor's comment over lunch at a casual seafood restaurant when I got home (or at the very least before presuming to present it here as factual information in an online public forum).
2) Authoritative Sources: Realize now that my haste in replying ignored my gnawing gut sense that a further online search was the only responsible action. Should have gone back to bed and resumed with my reply later in the day.The Snopes site as well as wiki provided similar authoritative documentation of the etymology of the word on the table.
3) Application: Interestingly, this lesson also applies within the spiritual realm. From my standpoint, the ultimate authority in matters of absolute truth has been for decades, is today and always will be the inspired Word of God. Mere opinions and hearsay about the meanings of certain passages are inconsequential. Consistent exposure to the exegetical teaching of scripture from the original languages in which it was written is the only way to grow to maturity as a believer in Christ.
4) Anecdotal: I now more keenly appreciate the ebb and flow of conversation, debate and repartee in this forum from the perspective of having briefly placed myself circumstantially in the reversed role. I was the one resisting the truth concerning a secular urban slang word's origin. You, twhitehead and others were patiently absorbing my negativity. -Boston Lad

How about:
oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yes!
Have you ever done a woman that gave you that kind of compliment, GB?
Like a person is something you do, like a check on a to-do list.
I have so many problems with that sentence, but for now I'm going to stick
with, This is not the place [if there is one] for asking people such personal questions.
It wasn't ok when GB asked, and it isn't ok now.
