Bitter argues that 'frickin' isn't foul language. IMHO, "frickin" is just as back as "fucking". Personally, I'm tired of these idiots who don't want to swear, so they replace the real cuss words with fake words that sound nearly the same. If you are going to fucking cuss, then fucking do it.
A guy at work chastised me for saying goddammit. He said I shouldn't take the Lord's name in vain, and he's probably right. But he says Gosh Darn all the time. I yelled right back at him for using replacement words that mean exactly the same thing. Disrespect is disprespect. Even though you replace a few letters, the intent is there.
but, but, but ... "fuck" and "shit" are such all purpose words for people of limited vocabulary. They're nearly as flexible as South Park's "marklar".
And where do you draw the line with replacement words? Would you call "Fargin" a replacement? What about "spackle"? Is it the word or the intent behind it? (I've always felt spackle should be a swear word. It sounds like the mess birds leave behind on your newly washed car)
"fargin" is okay. It reminds me of Roman Moroni: "You fargin sneaky bastage... You fargin iceholes"
Posted by: Ravenwood at March 9, 2008 8:44 PMFrickin is definately a replacement for fucking, as is darn and damn, but gosh is a word in its own right and not a replacement for God. It's an expression of surprise or shock and not a call for God to act.
All that said, no one argues that negro and nigger are equally offensive even though one obviously derives from the other.

Posted by: Da Goddess at March 10, 2008 10:49 AMMan, I hate the shit too. I am a gamer and Halo is one of my favorite games to play online. So I often connect to servers only to find out that after I blast some fuckin n00b across the map with a missle launcher, simultaneously pointing out that he /she is a fucking n00b by saying, "DIE FUCKING N00B! Merry xmas BITCH!", I get "No cussing, this is a Christain server"
Nothing wrong with playing video games in my book. But to attempt to water down and ignore the root of the first person shooter is preposterous.
Fuckers are playing a violent game. WTF man?! Don't fucking play. The intent is to kill bitches online. I don't give a damn about what is ultimately said while playing but trust me on this one. When you kill someone with 1 headshot the first thing that will pop into your head is "DIE BITCH!"
