My English homework for tonight was to look up the etymology of "friggin'":

frig
"to move about restlessly," c.1460, perhaps a variant of frisk (q.v.). As a euphemism for "to fuck" or "to masturbate" it dates from 1598.

Yeah, I see it all the time in 16th-century texts.

It's surprising how old some of those words are. You think of them as strictly modern or a variation on an older word or something, but they've been around forever.

Why was that your English homework?! Did it appear in a fairy tale or something?

[sweetballad]

It appeared in an variation of Huck Finn. I got chocolate for looking it up.

I enjoy the use of deuce in Jane Eyre.

Hey, yeah it's cool that you added me. I'll add you back. I hope though that you aren't too disappointed when you find out that I'm really not that interesting afterall.
