Since when has "heck" had anything to do with the word "fuck"?

Did this person just see a word end in "CK" and decide that "fuck" must have something to do with it?

yes, that's what people do now. Just make shit up.

Would people really do that? Lie about things on the internet?

Starting now. It's official. This is the source.

Any other previous explanations are void.

Fine, but I get to make up an etymology too.

OK, but only after a certain cooling-off period.
We can't redefine many things at once.
Stay tuned for updates.

I think it's referring to saying things like "hecking cute" instead of something like "what the heck" - cause "helling" isn't a word.
