to detest the term 'fraped'

[Ihavewelliesbuttheyrenotgreen]

Not sure if this has been done on Mumsnet before but the term 'fraped' on Facebook makes me fume. And its not just teenagers that use it, it seems to just be the accepted by all as the phrase to be used when someone has been hacked.

Meant to add, anyone got any suggestions for alternatives.

YANBU. It always makes me feel a bit...eugh.

I can't stand it.

of god that is disgusting and so disrespectful to women who have been raped

really sick and a shit word to use

'Hijacked'

'Hacked'

'My friends are childish idiots'

Hmmm.... well... it does make me twitchy (mainly personal reasons) but the word rape isn't exclusive to how we immediatly think of it, it's just used less in other contexts because I guess of how it's 'normally' used... does that make sense?

is hideous misuse of a word. My niece put it on facebook and I had a go at her. She looked a bit "talk to the hand" tbh, wasn't at all bothered. I've seen adults using the term. odd

I only saw it for the first time yesterday, it was frapist and it was someone younger than me. I am used to not knowing what young people are saying these days. But then I saw my friend use it and got what it meant, it's maybe a little too much but I don't think younger people think about it in the same way we do

I comment on every single status i see with it.
It makes me seriously (and probably irrationally) angry each and every time i see it.

anyone that actually uses it is a twat

Idiot icon here. I thought it was frapped. Hadn't realised the full meaning of the word!

First I've heard of it!

Thought I was only one who thought 'fraped' was utterly inappropriate. Rape's still on my list of 'not funny', along with paedophilia. Some subjects are not OK to be trivialised.

It's vile and i have to tell DD off for using it...
she knows i hate it and has stopped using it in my hearing..

Can't understand why young girls/women think it's ok.

I hate it even more when i've heard grown men using it..

Creepy.

Nope it is fecking awful.

yanbu

YANBU it is vile and I also comment when I see it.

Horrid. Agree with BringOnTheGoat.

yanbu.. its horrible

I detest it too, but LOVING the use of detest. Mentally making lists of all the things I can detest.

Disgusting term. YADNBU.

It doesn't bother me at all. But YANBU to be bothered, like you wouldn't be BU to dislike bacon or lilies.

Not a nice term. I don't like it. If I had a teenager I would point out, rather forcefully, why I disapproved.

However, I would point out that the word rape has had a wide variety of uses over the years. It was not intially a sexual term, and was often used to refer to non-sexual acts (i.e the Rape of Nanking).

Rape used to be referred to as violation; we now use the word violation to refer to things like traffic violations. Language does change gradually. I'm not keen on the use of the word in this context, but I'm broad-minded about new words.

It doesn't bother me at all. But YANBU to be bothered, like you wouldn't be BU to dislike bacon or lilies.

wtf?
I think the trivialisation of a violent act that has opressed women for generations is very much a different matter to disliking a specific word.

It is not the dislike of a word, it is the extreme distaste of the misuse and and indeed abuse of a very serious term.
