i know , i know, stupid thread! but i have used this word SOOO much growing up and even now that i didnt even realize how much i use it until a student said. of course, its a gentler word for the "F" word. since im canadian, i assume most canadians use it, ASSUME. but, is it commonly used in places like the U.S / NZ / UK / Aus. ??

thanks

I've heard Americans say things like, "No friggin' way"...but not where a student would be likely to hear it.

Ah. You were pi**ed off. That's different then. It's OK to use vulgar language in that kind of situation.

I don't say "friggin", but occasionaly I'll say "freakin". I do admit it's freakin lame, though. F*ck is much more appealing to the palate.

I did use the term "frickin freezing" in a thread as a reference to the first Austin Powers movie.

I'm from Maine and "frig" is not uncommon to hear, but "friggin'" is heard much more often.

In the westernmost Canadian province of B.C. I've often heard "friggin'" as a polite substitute for the f-word. A more tame version also said is "flippin'"

And, interestingly...

I've heard friggin' as a substitute for f*ckin
but it sounds stupid to me

If I feel the need to substitute it would be with freakin

but usually I just say f*ck it, and use the word I want, or avoid cursing all together.
