I hate the word 'fricking'....

[knittynoodle]

Say fuck and be done with it! What is this 'fricking'?

So do I!

YANBU

Gets on my tits

Say fucking

Or don't fucking swear

I love it, it fills the niche between 'oh crumbs' (not that I ever say that!) and 'fuck'. 'Tis an important niche I think.

No.
Fuck is coarse

Fricking- hmm no opinion

Fecking is my swear word of choice. (I'm not Irish but everyone thinks I am, so I can get away with it.Think of Father Ted. He could say feck with class)

Yy, I also hate 'fooking' it's fucking, fucking, fucketty, fucking.
I do like fecking though.

I always thought fricking was frigging not being said properly.

I have used this term today-hope you're not my friend!

I thought it was a portmanteau of frigging and fucking.

YANBU I hate the word.

I used to date a guy that said it all the time. It drove me mad.

I just heard it said by the trainer in the Biggest Loser and thought, you lady, YOU are the biggest loser for saying fricking.

FFS.

Nah, 'tis most useful. And I am a staunch defender of the utility and, sometimes, elegance of swearing on those tedious threads that crop up on here every now and then bleating about there being too much swearing on Mumsnet, so there.
YABU.

Feck is the only option!

Fecking is good.

Sorry mog (love yr name tho)
But you are wrong. Fricking is said by dumb American wannabees who haven't the balls to say fuck

I quite like feck actually. It seems more like fuck, perhaps that's why!

I like all the Fuck family. If it starts with an F, it's a friend of mine.

I am also irked when people type shite as shyte. Why do it? If you're typing a swear word just do the job properly man!
I need to get out more.

No no no! Fecking is awful. ESP when my dad says it having recently moved to Ireland. The word is fucking. If you don't want to imply a swear word of that gravity says something else. For fuck's sake.

It makes me think of Austin Powers..

Thanks :) this thread has made me grin like a fool :P

Fricking always reminds me of that annoying girl in Scrubs - erm... Elliot.

I am a bit of a sci-fi nut and love the alternative 'frak' - close enough to fuck for it to feel satisfying but far enough away to use in public...

Have been watching hugely violent US sci fi series recently where they use the word frack as a substitute for 'fuck'.

I'm going to cut your fracking throat you sick frack!

Fracking pointless.

"No no no! Fecking is awful. ESP when my dad says it having recently moved to Ireland. The word is fucking. If you don't want to imply a swear word of that gravity says something else. For fuck's sake."

fecking is a totally different word to fucking, it has a totally different meaning. you will find both are extremely common in ireland - although to most irish people fecking isn't even swearing.

i do find it funny hearing non-irish people say fecking though! not in a 'how very dare they' way, just mildly amusing as it sounds strange. also amazed at how many people think the word feck was invented for father ted.

i think fricking sounds american, i think i have only heard it used by americans.

Farkin is uite good too.

YABfrikkingU.
