I never used to drop the f-bomb much (I think?), but ever since I'm into BSG I find myself uttering 'frak' quite some times. I guess it's because of its quality of being a quasi-non-profanity swearword that makes me use it even though I don't usually swear much... and I find it rather relieveing I have to say. Don't know what that says about me though... :) For a somewhat different point of view, it's quite interesting to listen to various other people and their understanding of the word 'frak' in the SciFi special <i>Battlestar Galactica Phenomenon</i> that aired right before the start of BSG Season 4 (you can catch it on YouTube).
