}} For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (also known as F.U.C.K.) is the ninth album by American hard rock band Van Halen, released in 1991 (see 1991 in music). When the first letter of each word in the title are put together, they spell a vulgarism, an intended pun; the phrase For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge is one of the common fake etymologies of the word fuck.
