frak, or frakkin'
This word makes me laugh anytime they use it on BG or the new show Caprica, usually they are all heated and serious, and then they say "frak" or the even better hybrid "frakkin" - I find it amazing that they can say it with a straight face. It's one of the funniest words ever
Quit frakkin' with me man!
and of course the classics never get old,
What the frak???!!!!

I think it's funny how use of that word labeled you mega-nerd in '78, and now makes you cool if you have it on your t-shirt now. LOL

My brother and I still exclaim "FELGERCARB" at opportune moments. No one ever gets it.

The thing is fu*k is such a fun word to say there is no way it'd ever get replaced by something as childish sounding as Frak...

I think it is highly annoying and eliminates all seriousness of the entire scene in which it is used. What ever happened to the word damned? The use of frak is childish and immature, but it goes well with those stinkers BG and Caprica.

I just think it's funny that the FCC, or whoever is in charge of censoring curse words on TV, allows the use of the word "frak". It means the same as saying "f**k", and is used in the same way as "f**k", but for some reason it's allowed. I guess they're not smart enough to get it. Frakin' idiots! LOL

In the seventies this was brilliant.
The characters could cuss at will without any concerns for network censors.
Quite creative on the writers part.
Now days of course, they can cuss more with no worries.
