It was invented in the Vedic period. 1,500-500BC. That's slightly before we had public school playgrounds. It's long before we (or anyone else) saw us as British.

That reminds me of one of my favourite lines in literature - I am sure it is John Irving's Hotel New Hampshire where he describes the magic of the word ****. It can be adjective noun and verb as in "The ****ing ****ers ****ed"
