à moins que je vous prenne par la peau du cul
je vous attraperai par la peau du cul
ça coûte la peau des fesses

OK : c'est tout simplement l'abréviation de "Oll Korrect" ("All Correct" mal orthographié). Un simple coup d'oeil sur le "Petit Larousse" ou sur Wikipedia suffit pour s'en assurer.

FUCK
Non, "fuck" n'est pas non plus l'acronyme de "Fornication Under the Consentment of the King" - une autre légende urbaine répertoriée par Snopes. Du reste, ce mot apparaît pour la première fois sous la forme "fuccant" dans un poème en latin du XVIème siècle, comme nous l'apprend Wikipedia.

Voltage Pictures, the company responsible for the movie The Hurt Locker, (as well as a million movies you've never heard of) is currently in court, attempting to get an Ontario-based internet service provider to release the names associated with over 1000 IP addresses that they claim belong to people who illegally downloaded their copyrighted material.

Sharia law used in the United Arab Emirates to jail Australian woman after she was gang-raped

What happened in June 2008 to Alicia Gali, a former employee of Le Méridien Al Aqah hotel, was deplorable. While the hotel worked diligently on Ms Gali’s behalf, the authorities investigated and prosecuted Ms Gali under the local laws. Additionally, the men involved were also prosecuted and each served prison terms before being deported. As for Ms. Gali’s lawsuit against the hotel, we disagree with the allegations.

The hotel management provided support and assistance to Ms Gali and her family throughout that time, including assisting with medical support and the investigation, liaising with her representative Australian embassy and coordinating and arranging affairs with her family in Australia.??Starwood’s repeated approaches to discuss Ms Gali’s claim with her attorneys have been ignored and declined. As this matter is part of an open on-going Starwood investigation and litigation commenced by Ms Gali against Starwood and the Commonwealth of Australia, we cannot comment further at this time.

The safety and security of our associates and guests continues to be a paramount priority.
