An unwanted substitute for big-boy curse words that has made its way into your vocabulary strictly because some kid who had his mouth washed out at an early age says it unceasingly. Often comes to replace, and completely eliminate the use of more powerful, and ultimately more satisfactory words. Can also result in making you sound like an elementary school kid trying to act tough.
Can also be used in tandem with "what the" to create "what the frick" which is a completely lame expletive for situations when you really have nothing better to say.
-"What the frick?"
- "Why don't you just man-up and say 'fuck?'"
-"I really don't know... frick."
