I am certainly no prude. But I do believe some words and phrases do not belong in the public sector.

The origin of the word 'frickin' is 'freaking.' Freaking is a substitute (euphemism) word for 'frigging' and the mighty F word; being derived from the verb 'frig.'

To further define, 'frig' means to copulate with, to take advantage of, to victimize, and a couple of other choice activites which need not be mentioned here.

I have to wonder, Mr. Sheetz, just WHAT have YOU done to (or with) the chicken you sell. If you wish to sell a tasy chicekn, I would suggest you find a more tasteful way to advertize it.

Thank you, no, Mr. Sheetz. I will NOT try your chicken, crispy or otherwise. And now that I think about it, I don't think I'll buy your gas or anything from your establishments.
