Is the term "frickin" considered to be an offesive term?

Answer 1

Its sounds like the F word.

Answer 2

Whenever I use that word I am told that it is offensive, when I asked why it was offensive I was told that its because it sounds too much like the f-word, and is commonly used in place of the f-word when someone such as a parent is around.

Answer 3

I hope not. I use it all the time and I don't use other cuss words. It's sort of my way of expressing myself emphatically without actually using the bad words. I use it pretty infrequently, but darn it!...sometimes you just have to let it out!! :)

Sometimes I get a bit of a double-take or a comment about it, but then I explain myself.

Answer 4

Yes. It is clearly a replacement for ******* and everyone knows that.

You can remove "frickin" from any sentence and not lose any meaning.

Answer 5

It's a bit of an in-between; much less strong than 'f*cking' but still it's pretty obvious what you mean. So don't use anything like it in a formal situation but in more informal situations it's cool.

Answer 6

It's considered less offensive. It is basically replacing the offensive word. You're not saying the offensive word, but you mean the same.

Answer 7

People know what word it stands for, and they find that word offensive.

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

yes, at school you get in trouble for saying that. its very disrespectful though.

Answer 10
