Who knew...but apparently, M-W says 'yes':
fr*g
Main Entry: fr*g
Pronunciation: 'fr*g
Function: intransitive verb
Inflected Form(s): fr*gged; fr*g·gingEtymology: Middle English fr*ggen to wriggle
often vulgar : COPULATE -- sometimes used in the present participle as a meaningless intensive
---------------------------------------------People do substitute that a lot for the "actual" F-word, but I thought it was sorta a made-up thing .....learn somethin' new every day :-)
And.....why does that last part - [sometimes used in the present participle as a meaningless intensive] - sound far more suggestive and potentially vulgar to me, than the word itself? Lol...
And..... my advice is - keep your 'g's' nice and soft, as in "gyrate" or "gymnastics," and you'll be okay....fr*g is another version of fridge...but, when prounounced with a hard 'g' - then the trouble starts.... ;-)
