Frakkin' Battlestar Galactica!

(with a nod to Big Bad Wolf because he likes BG, I hear)

I never used to swear.
A couple of years working in radio changed that. Dammit.

Then, when we were expecting our first child, the husband and I made a strong effort to stop swearing.
When the urge to cuss came upon us, we'd swap out the swear word for a nonsense word.

Fudge.
Sheetcake.
Dagnabbit!

And it seemed that the longer the nonsense word was, or the more of them we could string together, the more satisfying it was to use.

Ricken racken bricken bracken fricken frakkin...!

So, we began to refer to such language as "swearing in cartoon" because it sounded so much like something Yosemite Sam might say in anger.

Now...

The current Battlestar Galactica TV series does not write swear words into its scripts.
Instead, they use the word "frakkin'".

"You're a frakkin' screw up!"
"This is all frakked up!"

I like it!
I find myself saying "frakkin'" under my breath a lot.

In fact, I was highly amused to read Stephen King in a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly use the word as well! As if it was a part of common speech!

Rock on!

Do you use any frakkin' cartoon swear words?
