Since when has "frikkin" been a swear word?

[Fuddlemiff]

It keeps getting bleeped out on the news, but it's distinguishable enough from "fuckin", surely?

 

[headvoid]

RACIST!!!

 

[Fuddlemiff]

GO BACK TO THE SHACK YOU CAME FROM

FRIKKIN doesn't get bleeped here. Nor does FRIGGIN.

MOTHERFUCKINGCOCKSUCKINGCUNTBASTARD still does though LOL

What happens if The Exorcist is on TV? Do they bleep out "YOU MOTHER SUCKS COCKS IN HELL" while pixelating Regan and replacing her with a stock image of a bunny?

Thats just fuckin retarded.

How did frikking get on the news in the first place?

 

[Dr Dave]

If I ever get on the news again, I will try to fit "frikkin" in someplace.

"Mrs. Elvira Frikkin of Manchester was shocked to find a dirty Paki under her tea cozy."

 

[Dr Dave]

:shock:

Actually, it was the BBC reporting about Shilpa being bullied. They played the clip where she tells Jackiey what her name is for the umpteenth time ("SHIL-PA! It's a frikkin name, not a sentence!").

If I ever got on the news I'd be bound to drop an "f-bomb" or two. I insert "fuckin" into most sentences just out of habit.

I thought she said frigging

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Since when has "frigging" been a swear word?

 

[whisky]

Since always.

To frig means what a lady does when she fingers herself.

Well you learn something new everyday. I always assumed it was a Dinseyation of "fucking".

 

[CaptainWacky]

FRACK!

 

[whisky]

Apparently an item of furniture in Adama's room is from Ikea, and its called frack, its their little inside joke.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I'm a bit letdown that they haven't shown Dirk talking about BSG or the A-Team.

There was a famous clown team decades ago called Frick & Frack.

And I don't think Americans know the definition of "frig" in that context, so it usually slips by the censors, who are just happy nobody said "fuck".

Another recent development: allowance of the middle finger on TV in limited cases.
