Fornication Under Consent of the King,
In ancient England a person could not have sex unless you had consent of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family).

When anyone wanted to have a baby, they got consent of the King, the King gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having sex.

The placard had F.*.*.*. (Fornication Under Consent of the King) on it. Now you know where that came from.

I believe he usually had first rights also, much like conquering invaders.
