Sept. 5 headline: “What the ‘frak’? Faux curse word seeping into language”

WATCHDOG: According to Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, Second Edition, to curse is to “swear profanely.” Profanity is “irreverence.” “Frak” is a surrogate for a word that has little direct connection to invoking God’s intervention.

There is a difference between a curse and something that is vulgar or obscene.

May the Intell never do anything worse!
