No, "Fragged" means kill a superior officer in the field, and has nothing to do with the word "frak" AT ALL

The meaning and usage is similar to the military slang term "[http://www.answers.com/frag frag]" (also "fragged" etc., originally short for "fragmentation grenade") - supposedly originating in the Vietnam War Era. The episode title [[Fragged]] (2.03) suggests that maybe "frak" is just a misspelled version of "frag".

Definition

Frak is an expletive analogous to the English word fuck.

Usage

It is used much like its English counterpart, i.e. "Frakkin' rats."/"Fuckin' rats."

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 Sharon!) or can be used to denote one's hatred of something (ex: Frakkin' Cylons).

In the original series, it was spelled "frack".
