to find the term "frape" offensive?

I know this isn't exactly a new term.

But a friend of mine had a status on Facebook announcing a pregnancy. Lots of people commenting saying congratulations, when your due date etc.

She then put another status up saying - Sorry guys I got fraped.

Lots of people saying how funny it was.

Maybe I have no sense of humour but I just don't like the term "frape" and how acceptable people seem to find it.

Don't use the term, but can't say I've ever thought about it being offensive tbh.

Plus, anyone want to take bets on how long before someone turns up on the thread who thinks it's the absolutely last word in "edgy humour"and how they have giant, rib tickling belly laughs every time they read or hear it.

I've actually never seen anyone use it. I must have nice friends. Grin

It is a bit offensive, but people do find offensive things funny. I'm neither here or there. If you're looking for offensive jokes though, go to sickipedia. I think it's a bit like someone enjoying horror movies or chick flicks. Not everyone's cup of tea.
