frak
Wednesday, August 31st, 2005 by adminI love the word frak. I’ve been watching Battlestar Galactica since the new series started last year. The characters use the word frak the same way we use a diffrent four letter word beginning with the letter f. It is most often used as an exclamation uttered in any place where a contemporary character would issue an utterance that might be frowned upon by the FCC. However we’ve also seen a fuller development more akin our f word with phrases like “frak things up”, “motherfrakker”, and even “go frak yourself”. Even the first time frak was used it needed no translation fo explanation. Simply from context the viewers knew exactly what it was. The writers have found a creative and effective way to communicate the emotion and frustration of a given character without compromsising their vision or bringing down the wrath of the FCC.
