There's the technical term "Freak" or "Freaky", those meaning something along the lines of being scared, but "Freaking" is something I hear a lot of, and if it's not an alternative for something else, why would they say it?

Criticism isn't credit to team.

Hate to contradict you guys, but “freak” has been fairly common slang for “fuck” for a few years now. See http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=freak&r=f for a printed definition, or any of many songs (http://www.anysonglyrics.com/lyrics/j/jodeci/freak.htm for one), etc. Of course, it probably took on that meaning as a result of having been used as a “safe” alternative, but there you have it.

How entertaining that the one time I’ve seen you concerned with sloppy use of English and the resulting evolution of the language is with respect to an expletive… I guess it’s your chance to pay back all of us who have corrected you all these years!

How about what Bomber used to say: “Oh, foot!”

One can’t say, “What the freak.” Or, “Go freak yourself.” Or how about, “Wanna freak?” Ah, the language. I’ll just close with — I really do give a freak about this issue, as inane as it may be.

Probably right around the time “darn” and “shoot” were substituted in more, uhm, etiquette sensitive situations.

P.S. Re: Full content feeds: This is an issue that I feel like I’m missing the boat on. Everyone loves this — kinda in the same way as everyone loved “free” Napster music. At some point, content providers have to get paid, don’t they? Either you come to my site so I can show you ads… or I’m not going to give you free content.

Yeah, "freaking" sucks, but it's way better than "stinking"
