re: When did it become ok to drop "f bombs" in mixed company?

You mainly encounter such talk in the ghetto or with low bred white trash. Or with the mutants who inhabit South LA. Which makes sense since they are a mixture of the 2 aforementioned.

Working in a professional setting inhibits my vocal f bombs but rest assured I'm dropping them in my head left and right all while smiling from ear to ear.

This is why my office door stays closed 90% of the time.

ETA and in a car in traffic all bets are off.

Why frick is the Best Word in the English Language...
by Who the frick Knows

Perhaps one of the most interesting and colorful words in the English language today is the word "frick".

It is a magical word which, just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, love, and hate. In language, "frick" falls into many grammatical categories.

It can be used as a verb both transitive (John fricked Mary) and intransitive (Mary was fricked by John).

It can be an action verb (John really gives a frick),

a passive verb (Mary really doesn't give a frick),

and adverb (Mary is fricking interested in John),

or as a noun (Mary is a terrific frick).

It can also be used as an interjection (frick! I'm late for my date with Mary).

It can even be used as a conjunction (Mary is easy, frick she's also stupid).

As you can see there are very few words with the overall versatility of the word frick.

Aside from its sexual connotations, this word can be used to describe many situations:

1. Greetings........."How the frick are ya?"

2. Fraud..............."I got fricked by the car dealer."

3. Resignation......."Oh, frick it!"

4. Trouble............."I guess I'm fricked now."

5. Aggression........."frick you!"

6. Disgust................"frick me."

7. Confusion............." What the frick....?"

8. Displeasure............"fricking shite man..."

9. Lost........................"Where the frick are we?"

10.Disbelief..............."Unfrickingbelievable!"

11.Retaliation............."Up your fricking arse!"

12. Apathy................."Who really gives a frick?"

13. Suspicion............."Who the frick are you?"

14. Directions.............."frick off."

It can be maternal........"Motherfricker!"

It can be used to tell time......."It's four fricking twenty!"

It can be used as an anatomical description............."He's a fricking a-hole."

Lastly, it has been used by many notable people throughout history:

"What the frick was that?" -Mayor of Hiroshima

"Where the frick is all this water coming from?" -Captain of the Titanic

"Who the frick is gonna find out?" -Richard Nixon

"frick a duck." -Walt Disney

"Houston, we have a big fricking problem." - The crew of Apollo 13

Sorry, I disagree. It kind of pisses me off for people dropping the F bomb. To me by dropping it, one that does can't describe what they are really trying to say. Guess I am getting to old. BUT, at times when by myself I know I have dropped it many times.

On a side note. Why younger people get all bent out of shape when someone uses the "C" word, but drops pussy? That was a no biggie 30-40 years ago.

Brits

Their cousins to their immediate west use it a bunch but in the form of "feck" and "fecking".

I try not to cuss very often. So when I do, people know that I'm really pissed off. If you use those words too often then they lose their impact.

Don't worry I'm bringing that insult back as my go to when a woman is being a count. For me I don't swear that much (much less than I did in my Marine days), but when I do it's probably because somebody is being a fricking a-hole

quote:

---

I put a rubber band around my wrist and every time I'd say the F word I'd pull on it. I rarely say the word now. Really proud of myself.

---

That's really frickin stupid

quote:

---

Better to hear a woman say "frick me now" than "would you kindly enter me now."

---

The right posh British accent when she says the word "condom".



In that case: English English > American English
