OFF TOPIC

I can't explain why Gemstar is rising so fast on no news, so I'll instead provide one little tid-bit of info about an off-topic subject.

Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodental fricative 'F'...

Actually, the word is an acronym derived from the signs the military put on the sides of whore house. The signs made it clear to the English-speaking soldiers that it was illegal to go inside. The signs said, "For Unlawful Carnal Knowleddge."
