*'''frag''' - from ''[[Shadowrun]]''. Similar meaning to "[[fuck]]", derived from the use of fragmentation weapons (i.e. - "Frag Grenades"). Due to the connection to the weapon type, it is more violent / negative and less sexual in connotation. Also frequently used in ''[[Lobo (DC Comics)|Lobo]]'' and ''[[Babylon 5]]''. This usage probably derives from [[frag (military)|frag]] being used in the Viet Nam War by American solders as a verb meaning to kill with a fragmentation grenade, particularly the alleged practice of throwing them a bit short to catch an unpopular commander in the 'kill radius' of a grenade. It can be compounded just like 'fuck', in Shadowrun materials 'fragging' 'mother-fragger' and 'fraged up' are seen used.
*'''frak''' - new spelling for "frack" used in the new ''[[Battlestar Galactica (re-imagining)|Battlestar Galactica]]''. (Same meaning as "[[fuck]]"). Same usage as the original series, but greatly expanded, and it also seems to carry the same "social weight" as fuck, as characters sometimes apologise for their language after using it. This expletive also appears in the [[role-playing game]]s [[Cyberpunk 2020]] and [[Shadowrun]]. In an early-1980s game on the BBC Micro called [[Frak!]] a caveman called 'Trogg' would utter this word in a speech bubble when "killed". Presumably same meaning as "[[fuck]]". Hacked versions of the game substituted "[[fuck]]". "Frak" is also used in The CW TV-show [[Veronica Mars]] season 3, with explicit references to Battlestar Galactica as a television show that the characters watch. "Frak" is also used in Warhammer 40,000 novels by Black Library Publishing. Noted novels such as For The Emperor and its following Ciaphas Cain series by author Sandy Mitchell. Furthermore, the term has been used in the show "The OC" (on Fox) specifically by the character Summer Roberts in season four.
**'''frak-head''' - from the new ''[[Battlestar Galactica (re-imagining)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' miniseries, derived from "frak", substitution for "[[asshole]]" or "fuck-head": when the miniseries originally aired on SciFi channel the phrase "superior asshole" was used by Starbuck (Kara Thrace) - when later aired on NBC the phrase became "superior frak-head".
**'''frakwit/frakwad''' - Used once by [[Galen Tyrol|Chief Tyrol]] when explaining to the Pegasus deck chief why the Galactica deck crew was so angry. He said that [[Helena Cain|Admiral Cain]] had assigned "some frakwad from the Pegasus" to be Galactica's new deck chief. As it turns out, the person who he was explaining it to was that frakwad, but he did not seem in any way offended.
**'''motherfrakker''' - derived from "frak" in parallel to "motherfucker". Used first by [[Specialist Cally]] in Season 2 and later by Lieutenant Kat and Starbuck, but apparently not standard usage, as [[Galen Tyrol|Chief Tyrol]] finds Cally's usage quite amusing, though this may also be because Cally rarely (if ever) curses.
**'''toasterfrakker''' - by extension, someone, like [[Karl Agathon|Helo]], who's had sexual congress with a human-model Cylon.

At several points in the story, Cain refers to the "Gall-monging [[Cylon]]s". "Monging" would appear to be a corrupted version of "[[Monger]]ing", and "[[Gall]]" obviously means the same thing in the Colonies that it does in modern English: Bile.
