Today's thought for the day

I believe life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting “holy shit! What a ride!”

[TheNoNamedOne]

Friggin great way to look at it. I am going to remember this one.

I thought it was a pretty sweet quote! I thought about adding it to my signature as well, but if I added every quote I like, the stinking signature would be a page long!:)

Just for the record,"friggin is just another word for F__k" and with the violations I have seen you do for behavior on this forum, you shouldn't be using this curse word, should you?:eek:

Just asking my dear Watson.

Friggin' is not in the dictionary. It could also be used in place of freaking. Therefore no lines were crossed.

I appreciate your zeal though!

There is a difference in the use of the two words.

Freaking, is generally meant to mean "I was freaking when I saw that"
You don't say " I was friggin when I saw that"

Also depends on when you were born and where.

It is now used on TV a lot, family channels mind you. But it is, what it is.

Go back to a time when to say dam and hell on TV was NG and other curse words that are now okay. Depends on when you were born. If you are in your 30's then you most likely have a different set of standards than people who are older. :eek:

[Tempestuous]

I have personally said "It was freaking HOT!!!" as well as "It was friggin HOT!" Just depends on which word comes out as I am speaking.
I rarely, RARELY use the alternative "curse" word you referred these two words to.

Like I said depends on when you were born. Things change and the use and acceptance of this word now, does not change what it was when it started to be used.

The word fag meanas what to you in general? cigarette or homosexual?
The word weed means what to you in general? plant or marijuana?
The word dude means what to you in general? expression to acknowledge someone or a city person, not a cowboy.

There are people in the world , I have met, that believe in their heart that something is because they grew up with it that way. Because thats all they ever known.:p

lol... friggin is hardly a violation of our rules.

[Tempestuous]

Dude= friend, exasperation, greeting, guy....depends on how I use it in the sentence :)

Fag= understand both intended meanings, just depends on context of usage.
(which if used to refer to homosexuals, it's actually rather derogatory slang, no one I know uses that word in that context)

Weed- You have GOT to be kidding, RIGHT?!!?!?
Only "old" people call it weed. LOL catch up with the times. ;)
When I talk about weeds I am talking about the annoying crap I keep tryin to kill but refuses to die in my front yard.

{Only old people call it weed} Guess that's me, sugar, sweetie, babe, dear, hon, lady, toots and I got a million of them. Do you know who made the line famous? You more then likely you don't or will give credit to someone else. As time goes by, a lot is mis-repeated or mis-credited or just plain misunderstood from what it was meant to be originally.

I'm all caught up, it's you that need to catch up to me, darling. :p

[bokuwa]

Okay, I'll bite. What is YOUR means for the word? What word are you substituting for?

Some people use the word sugar when they want to say S_ _t, to be kind.

I think you meant to say when and where you were born.

Fag has always had the same meaning for me (because I have never been to Europe)...only now I am more politically correct.

Weed?? Same, I hate pulling weeds. But I may have had a toke back in the day...but it was definitely not weed!

Dude?? City? never...buddy, general expression? Maybe.

Friggin' is the same as shoot to me. If you hit your finger with a hammer and say shoot in front of my kids, I am not going to say anything to you. If you say something else, I might.

When did I become "old"?
I don't feel "old".....I don't think I look "old", what happened?:)

Kids that know what weeds are, are the ones whose parents punish them by making them pull weeds.
(I think if I did that half my flower bed would be gone....."I thought they were weeds" he would say)

Let's me see if I can sum this all up in this post.
All 4 or 5 of the people who use this forum are perturbed at me because as I said friggin is just another word for f _ _ k. Whether or not you agree isn't the point. Obviously, strangely enough, all of you were igorant of the intent meant behind using the word friggin

OR.

You came to use the word either knowingly or unknowingly as a substitue for f _ _ k. If you didn't know before, your welcome for the update, if you did know before, your just trying to be antagonist oppose to saying, I know.

Get over it.

The postings concerning the slang used for marijuana, WEED, pot, herb, hemp or whatever you have come to call it. Are you playing with a full deck or what?
"that's something I pull from my garden"

Get away from the military and go into the general population in America and see what reaction you receive using the word friggin in a crowded place, a mall or amusement park. Use it loud enough to be heard by people passing by and see what looks you get. Not everyone, mostly people over 40 will know why and how you're using the word. Some old person, over 40 or so, might even say something to the effect, "you should not be using that word so loudly if you have to use it, at all".

As I said in other posts, they now use language on TV that a few years ago would have been unheard of and scorned, but things change and again as I said in other posts, not always for the better.

The old man might just know something you weren't aware of:p

Hey dudes!
Try this link and see if I'am not on target or at the very least not alone in what I am saying about the word usage.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=friggin

1. friggin

A word used by cowards who are too afraid to say "f_ _king"

dude #1: "that music friggin sucks"
dude #2: "friggin? come on you wimp. say F_ _KING"


1. freakin

To replace the word "f _ _king" when you are saying/writing it for a large audience, esp. in a business setting.

This freakin project is driving me crazy!

[Tempestuous]

Definition #3 on your page:
a non-swear-word replacement for "f_____g"

#8 The word can be used as a toned-down version in a formal or public setting to address excitement.


Answers.com says freaking is
adv. & adj. Slang.
Used as an intensive: Traffic was a freaking nightmare.

Frigging it says is
adj. Vulgar Slang.
Used as an intensive.

Friggin great way to look at it. I am going to remember this one.

What were you trying to use the word as? That’s a great way------
Don’t think so, you were using the word to refer to it’s origin.





tempestuous

I rarely, RARELY use the alternative "curse" word you referred these two words to.

The alternative or origin of the word is f _ _ k., right.
You used it because you believe that it isn’t vulgar. As you pasted below, vulgar slang. You seem to have issues with the word s _ _ t though, why?

If your using this word around strangers, friggin, and in the general public of America not a military base, people just don’t want to acknowledge and debate it with you. Most likely think your vocabulary s limited and leave it at that. From what you have written on this forum, friend or no friend of yours I wouldn’t want to have the conversation with you and maybe that is why no one has made you aware of it before.

Getting back to my original post, thought it was of interest that prosecutor was using the word and being a moderator. Also has used the term hard-on, but I am sure as with the word friggin, there is no intent to use the popular meaning of the term and therefore not vulgar. :)

[Boost]

All 4 or 5 of the people who use this forum are perturbed at me because as I said friggin is just another word for f _ _ k.

I wasn't perturbed, just thought I would have a little fun with alternative swear word replacements. To throw in a couple of pennies, I agree that friggin is just another alternative word for the "F" word and tends to be a little more socially acceptable then the latter. So all though it is a replacement, it is not actually in the category "bad word". Just a loop hole to beat the dk system ;)

[Tempestuous]

You seem to have issues with the word s _ _ t though, why?



No matter of fact, I do not have an issue with the word, it was a joke.....I was somewhat playing off of this thread as well getting into the thread with my wonderings of why Comedy Central voids the "curse" word for defecation yet on the same token will not void Mother F... or the one referring to illegitimate children. Just find their guidelines odd.


Also, the general public where we are, in general public America, CONSISTENTLY uses such alternate forms of "curse" words:
Heck,
Gosh,
Freak,
Crap,
Friggin,
Freaking,
Darn,
Dang,
Shoot,
Oh Snaps,
etc,
etc,
etc.

Here is the problem that you fail to see. You used the word intent. The use of the word is governed by the intent of the user...not the perceived intent of the receiver.

If I use the word friggin', you can't tell me what it means, because you are not inside my head when I chose to use it. Enough said on the subject. This is not a sexual harrassment class...intent goes to the user, not the receiver in this case.

With that said....friggin', as has been stated already, is not a violation of the forum rules. Why??? Because the almightyforumgo said so!:) :D :rolleyes: :cool:

Oooh, you are saying when you use the word your intent is not as a replacement for F _ _ k, I see.
A. Your afraid to use Fk because most people will not take it well
B. You really did not know what the word friggin was a replacement for and now that you do, your sticking to your story.
C. You just enjoy the ride on the band wagon, jeering my posts, which for the most part considering the jeers expressed, they speak for themselves. Not having much real comical value.

Obviously the values are changing in America with the use of the word more, and occasionally used on TV programs as well.
I say most people over 40 years old know THE INTENT of the word friggin when used and are surprised at the acceptance of it more and more.
Younger people maybe grew up with the word being used regularly around them and just think of it as part of the vocabulary when using it as a adjective or adverb.

Somewhat of a case in point. My wifes friend used the word F _ _ k almost all the time, " F--ing good coffee" or "F--ing nice to meet you". I can not remember all the instances she used it but a lot. We had a talk about the word and she explained that her husband used the word all the time, military man, and thought it was just a way to express strongly her thoughts or feelings. Instead of saying "it's very hot outside" she thought it was more American to say "it's F--ing hot outside". Her explanation as to her use of the word.

I have met many people who believed that IBM was the name of the company and had no idea that it stood for International Business Machinces.

And I "caught" what you were saying....recall, I said you were behind the times on what it was called. I was giving you crap.

With my yard comment I was talking about what the general population around these parts uses the word WEED for. They are referring to weeds that grow in the yard, driveway/sidewalk cracks, gardens, flower beds, sides of the roads, etc when they use that word.

The term for the illegal substance has evolved, is what I was getting at.

I am beginning to question if you are playing with a full deck as to your multi-faceted replies that often fall short of being coherent.
