When I was attending my chronically catholic school, the earnest young brother who was our class teacher told us we must not say: Gee whiz = Jesus, Golly or Gosh=God. That was fine with is. We all started saying Fuck instead. At the time we all just looked at him and tried really hard to keep a straight face. Truth can indeed be strange than fiction.
Trivia; In the nineteenth century words relating to sexual activity and body parts were not considered as coarse as is the case today. The biggies were blasphemy, such as damn and hell. That's why the last line of " Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" in Gone With The Wind was so shocking in 1939.
I just checked; although a religious fanatic would probably say all that, it's bullshit.

As far as I can tell, the word "fuck" comes from the German "ficken" to strike. (Modern English began as a medieval German dialect as far as I know) I think' cunt' is pretty old and bit uncertain. Possibly from medieval english of 'quim' and latter 'cunny'. Or perhaps from Old Norse 'kunta' meaning vulva. These words were simply descriptive.
