frickin

Polite curse substitute

Frickin is a euphemistic substitute for fucking, used as an intensifier to express emphasis, frustration, or exasperation: I can't believe you ate the whole frickin cake, That's frickin ridiculous.

Like other minced oaths, it allows speakers to convey the force of profanity without the vulgarity.

Also spelled freakin, friggin.
