Is freakin a bad word?

Answer 1

Thereare no bad words but bad meanings

Answer 2

Yes and no.

It is a replacement for the f word.

But think about it. Two plus two equals four, and everyone knows it. So when you say two plus two, everyone knows you really mean four. It means the same thing.

So when you are saying freakin, you are really saying the "f" word. That MAKES freakin a bad word by extension. We don't need to get into a good word/bad word discussion...just...remember...

... if you wouldn't say the F word in front of certain people, you shouldn't say "freakin" either. Even if they DON't know what it means, you do.

Plus as words go, it's pretty lame. It is not exactly intelligent, clever, impressive or articulate. Unless a car just ran over your big toe, you should be able to think of a more expressive word.

Answer 3

Yes, especially considering what "freakin" replaces

Answer 4

Probably not. It's a replacement for a bad word.
(People listening do know what you actually mean though.)

It's similar to when people say Oh Gosh! instead of Oh God! so that they don't get into trouble for blasphemy.

Answer 5

No, it's only a harmless way of saying the f-word. But if you have conservative family members, or if your school doesn't allow it, then I wouldn't say it.

Answer 6

Yes, because everyone knows what the speaker really wants to say.

Answer 7

not in its self but some peole might get mad because it replaces a different "f" word

Answer 8

not necessarily but by the way ppl use it, it seems like it is a "less profane" version of ******.

Answer 9

no
