That’s how I hear it in my head, probably from years of reading it as a stand-in for profanity on Slashdot and the like.

Yup put me down for "fusck" as well. I am probably inventing memories here but I think it is because whenever I saw a system announce it needed to fsck I would say "oh fuck" in my head (sometimes out loud).
