<br />
Frack is a Colonial colloquialism for the word "[[Wikipedia:fuck|fuck]]". <br />
<br />
It may be the case that the word does not carry the same level of social taboo as did "fuck" in 1978 America: in "[[Greetings from Earth]]", [[Boxey]] says, "Oh, frack," in a classroom where [[Athena]] is teaching a group of children, loudly enough for the entire room to hear, but there is no indication that he was punished or reprimanded. The word may carry no more social weight than "rats" or "darn" in the universe of the Galactica.<br />
<br />
Other variants include: fracking or fracked. <br />
<br />
Though never used in the original series, an assumed variant is also the plural form: fracks.<br />

<hr />
<div>Frak is an expletive analogous to the English word ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuck fuck]''.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
It is used much like its English counterpart, i.e. "Frakkin' rats."/"Fuckin' rats."<br />
<br />
It is a multipurpose and adaptable term, for it is capable of being used as a term describing the act of sex (ex: [[Tyrol]] just frakked [[Boomer|Sharon]]!) or can be used to denote one's hatred of something (ex: Frakkin' [[Cylons]]).<br />
<br />
In the original series, it was spelled "[[frack]]."<br />
