The Latin words “Non sunt in coeli, quia,” mean “They (the friars) are not in heaven, since.” The code fashion “gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk” is easily broken by simply substituting fashion the preceding letter in the alphabet, keeping in mind differences in the alphabet and in spelling between then and now: i was then used for both i and j; v was used for both fashion u and v; and two v's were used for w. This yields “fvccant (a fake Latin form) vvivys of heli.” The whole thus reads in translation: “They are not in heaven since they fuck wives of Ely (a town near Cambridge).” From The American Heritage Dictionary, 4th Edition.As the OED notes, some have attempted to draw a connection to the German word ficken (to fuck, in dialects: to rub, to scratch, and historically to strike).A possible etymology is suggested by the fact that the Common Germanic fuk-, by an application of Grimm's law, would have as its most likely Indo-European ancestor *pug-, which appears in Latin and Greek words meaning "fight" and "fist".
