I seem to remember an interview with the writers, and they did confirm that Feck was devised especially for the show as a new swearword. Hmm, or am I thinking of Red Dwarf and "smeg"? :~

Could also be "Frell" (from the show Farscape, but I doubt as many people know about it, compared to Red Dwarf). :-D That's why I ramble so much.

Brian Delahunty wrote: Feck replaced f*** among younger people [up to about 13] so parents didn't kill us! So... WTF is the difference? They're pronounced almost identically, and everyone knows that when you say "feck", it would be same as if you said "f*ck". right? It's like those dumbasses people who say "frig" instead of "f*ck" because they "don't want to swear". :mad: Same shit, different pile, IMHO. (why i'm using "f*ck" instead of the real word, i don't know).:confused: That's why I ramble so much. If you're short and quotable, there's a much greater danger of ending up in a sig.

We were young!!! Did we know any better.. nope. And I doubt our parents cared too much either way. they probably got a laugh out of the fact that we thought we had outsmarted them! Regards, Brian Dela :-)

Brian Delahunty wrote: they probably got a laugh out of the fact that we thought we had outsmarted them! Every generation does the same thing: it thinks it's outsmarting their parents, by doing EXACTLY the same thing the parents did when they were kids. It's funny how the cycle repeats. :-D That's why I ramble so much. If you're short and quotable, there's a much greater danger of ending up in a sig.
