The "F" word

I was around a bunch of 19-22 year-olds the other day for a few hours and all I heard them say was "frick" every other word. It was being used as an adjective for everything. From I went to the "fricking" store, or I was talking to a girl about a "fricking" car . . .
I'm not a prude or anything and have used the "f" word in my life when I'm very pissed, to emphasize something important. I also use it sparingly enough to where is means more.
Is it just a generational thing?

I am in my 50s, and when I go on a tear,there is no object,person,or place left verbally un-fricked.
The wife is trying to get me to clean it up,but damn,I'm a Marine. I am a fricking machine.

You sound like an old man griping about "them kids". Its not a generational thing, its a stage thing, and possibly a socio-economical thing.

I'm probably in a minority but I have never said this word out loud. I don't cuss hardly at all, but that is one that's never said.

I'm 22. I use it occasionally. Usually when I'm pissed. It's rarely directed at somebody though.
A lot of women still don't like the word so you have to be careful on when you use it
The people that use it every other word are still looked on in this generation.

When I was in the Army I used it Frequently . I can't shake the habit as a civilian leading to a lot of awkward stares like this.

I have no problem with cussing, I just rarely do it, to the point that sometimes friends I've known for a long while look at me in surprise when I drop an f-bomb irl

I don't think it is a generational thing as much as a society thing. Pretty sure coarse language has always been favored in military life and certain other professions, but limited in acceptance and scope outside of these smaller circles. In the modern age we have just eliminated common courtesy in favor of narcissistic impulses.
I noticed it the other week in a gathering of 40's to 80's folks where the language was more relaxed, yet 1 adult had brought along 2 small children (between age 7 and 11) and a few of us had to remind the others to keep it clean in front of the kids.

There's a funny YouTube video of a Bobby knight interview on the use of the F word. Can't link cause I'm on phone

Definitely more of an age thing than a generational thing. I heard plenty of cussing from my parents and older siblings growing up, but now they all roll their eyes when I do it.

More socioeconomic than generational.

I don't think so. A few weeks ago I watched Saturday Night Fever and it was a frickton of frick.

how much someone swears is a good way to determine how intelligent and trashy someone is.

I love a good frick :wink:, but goddamnit is just such a pleasure at releasing my frustration.
