With "Frak," We Have More Ways Than Ever to Cuss Like a Sailor


If you're not a fan of Battlestar Galactica, this may be news to you, but it seems the fake swear word used in the TV show is spreading into the real world like wildfire. Frak, yeah! Everyone knows what the characters are really saying, but it gets past the censors every week. So funny.

Some, like my partner, think it's stupid, but I disagree. Every word we have is "stupid," if by that we mean made-up. They're all just jumbles of letters that only have the meaning and power we give them or don't give them.

And that's why you can say "frak" on TV but not "fuck."
