Poo was often shipped across the ocean for fertilizers and such, but because of its flammability it needed to be stored high where air could disperse the harmful gasses. On each of the boxes was an acronym, which stood for Store High In Transit. I think you get it. Secondly, Fornication Under Carnal Knowledge, meaning having sex with an individual who is under age. Makes you wonder how that word now means sex in general. And that's what my teachers taught me in high School. Not sure how they became swear words, but the origins are interesting :)

I thought it was Fornicate Under Command of the King when the population was wiped out in England because of disease...?

It's Fornication Under the Consent of the King (i.e. F.U.C.K) the acronym was used to be posted on all doors for people who were going to have sex
