frick
Sanitized swear word
Frick is a mild euphemism for fuck, used to express frustration or emphasis without the vulgarity: What the frick is going on?
I don't give a frick.
It belongs to a family of minced oaths—frig, freaking, frigging—that let speakers invoke fuck's emotional force while maintaining plausible deniability.
