Do people really say “frickin’”? I’ve always been a believer in the view that one should either curse, or else one should not curse. These gosh darn stand-in profanity terms are just silly.I entirely agree, except for the "not curse" part. I think that people should have no qualms about it and sometimes wonder when and how the concept of "cursing" even came into being. Most cursing is just an expression of anger (or some sort of extreme emotion), and telling people not to use said words is in effect telling them to repress those emotions. And, of course, telling people that using sweeter-soundinig (are they even sweeter sounding?) euphemisms (are they even really euphemisms?) such as "frickin" or "heck" to project a certain extreme emotion in place of another completely arbitrary word seems nonsensical.
What do you folks think?
