YOU! YES, ALL OF YOU!

Quit fuckin' using a surrogate f-word exclusively in lieu of the One F-Word. It's a stupid, nerdy affectation and it gets old real fuckin' fast, OK?

Pleae elaborate. My humble non-english mind doesn't quite get it.

I freakin' hate that!

I reserve the right to continue to use the word "friggin'," as it is a separate verb with its own copulatory connotations.

Yes, i use friggin', freakin', and even fuggin' on occasion. It's the pathological aversion to using the word "fuck" and its derivatives that drives me up a wall.

I use "freakin'" in marginally polite company, but otherwise, it's "fuck" all the way.

fsck, however, is REALLY FUCKING IRRITATING, I agree. That got old back in 96 or 97, I think, and sure hasn't gotten any funnier since.

Ah, right. Yeah, I figured that's what you meant.

I actually really don't read bofhnet much any more at all these days...

Feck you, you fudgin' fricker.

Can I have special dispensation to say "frick"? I frickin' love saying "frick."

Otherwise I am in complete agreement. It's so much better to circumlocute and find other ways to express the sentiment that a variation of "fuck" attempts to express, than to stumble and pause in mid-sentence while trying to censor the word from the moment.

I can't say Mother Hubbard to my daughter anymore? I mean, how far does this edict extend?

"Mother Hubbard" is not at all an f-word; therefore, it is free of my edict.

Phew! For a minute, I thought I was fucked!

(although, if you say Mother Hubbard in anger at someone, it's very likely that they will hear something else...)
