I've seen various Kevin Smith movies uncensored, so I'm going to say yeah.
I've seen them censored occasionally and it's just pointless. Just about everything out of Jay's mouth is overdubbed with something really stupid.
I use friggin' a lot, even when I'm not self-censoring. I seem to use it for emphasis when I don't think something is quite f-bomb worthy.
I also tend to use "Fun" in a sarcastic tone of voice when something bad, but not overly surprising or tragic, happens which people have sometimes mistaken for "fuck".
"Fuck a duck!"
My friends and I used to use this one a lot in highschool. We almost died when one of our quieter female friends heard one of us exclaim it and replied in a sultry voice "Quack, quack, baby."
At some point later it evolved into "Fuck a duck with a rusty chainsaw!" but I have no idea why. I just remember that this indicated that the situation was more unfortunate than those that invoked ordinary mallard copulation.
"Fuck a duck with a rusty chainsaw!"
I'd guess from
Heathers
("Fuck me gently with a chainsaw").
It would be such an obviously intentional usage
Except it's not obviously intentional. No more than the rest of my swearing, anyway.
I'm sure it sounds affected, but since I really am using it completely unconsciously, I can't help it.
Yep. Same for me, along with "bugger", "bloody", and "wanker".
I prefer frell to frak, but only use them in my head. I just can't convincingly pull off potty mouth.
Yay for new phones. I got the Sprint Treo variety. Sadly I haven't taken the time to set up many of the features. I haven't even used the camera, but the kids have.
I'd guess from Heathers ("Fuck me gently with a chainsaw").
Could very well be. I do think that was quoted at least once (though I never saw the movie until well after highschool) and over time they just sort merged into one uber-exclamation.
Yep. Same for me, along with "bugger", "bloody", and "wanker".
I've been known to use "bloody" and occaisionally "bloody hell", and even managed to get my brother to start doing it, but I have no idea where I originally picked it up (I started using it pre-Buffy-watching) and I'm sure it sounds incredibly out of place.
I say "bloody" and "bugger" a lot, too. I think it comes from being a raging Anglophile, but I know my first exposure was the month we spent in Australia when I was 8. I got a hell of an education that month.
Except it's not obviously intentional. No more than the rest of my swearing, anyway.
For me, I meant but didn't say. But since I've very rarely heard anglos use it other than "ironically" I guess I can't really say how I'd take it in practice.
*meaning what people usually mean when they say ironically, which is of course, not generally ironic at all. Ironic.
Once, to my embarrassment, I used "Wank!"
