e/Frak (expletive)

Information
has gloss	eng: Frak is a fictional version of "fuck" first used (with the spelling "frack") in the original Battlestar Galactica series. In the "re-imagined" version, and subsequently in Caprica, it appears with greater frequency and with the revised spelling "frak", as the producers wanted to make it a four-letter word. In that framework it seems to function as a substitute for "fuck" in several different forms, as an interjection ("Frak!"), inquisitive idiom ("What the frak?"), verb ("You're not still frakking Dualla, are you?"), adjective ("You frakking crazy idiot!"), a noun ("You miserable frak"), ("A good frak") or in compound words ("What a clusterfrak."),("Motherfrakker!").
lexicalization	eng: frak
instance of	(noun) an inoffensive or indirect expression that is substituted for one that is considered offensive or too harsh euphemism
