Yeah, Seems Like A Dumb Move

Why not just call it mothereffing chicken... Do people actually buy their meals at Sheetz, anyways?

It also seems like a pretty big insult to potential customers. How stupid do you have to be to have the word frickin convince you to buy a product? Or to be impressed with such rhyming capability? Did Sheetz come up with this brilliant effort, or did they hire an advertising agency with expertise of dumbing down the customer base?

That's a front page story in Patriot News today too.

I always thought saying "frickin" was fairly tame like saying "heck" or "gol dang it". Obviously not everybody agrees.

I always thought most people understood what the replacement term was for, which kind of made it the same meaning, anyway. Less people are opposed to the terms of hell or goddamnit than fucking, same with the replacement terms I guess.

Would "fuggin", "farking", "fooking" and "flipping" be more, less or equally offensive as "frickin"?

I'd rank them fooking, then fuggin, then frickin, then farking then flipping in descending order of offensiveness.

You're just being silly. You missed "freaking".

I would say they're all about the same in the stupidity category. Seussification of cursing. If you're gonna say it, say it, if not, there's a wide variety of real words to use.

I saw those billboards for the first time this week and had much the same reaction as PSoTD... I'm certainly not offended, but I think it's pretty stupid. I feel the same way about the Best Damn Sports Show. Why? Just... why?
