Frig (interjection)
''Frig'' () is an interjection in the English language that expresses contempt. The word can be used as a euphemism for ''fuck'' or to refer to masturbation or sexual intercourse. The participle form, ''frigging'', is used as an adjective to express annoyance or frustration. Oxford University Press' ''Oxford Dictionary of Modern Slang'' argues that ''frig'' originally meant ''to move restlessly''. A different etymology is proposed by Oxford University Press' ''Dictionary of Euphemisms'', which argues that ''frig'' initially meant ''to rub'' and developed its sexual meanings from this origin; this dictionary further argues that the modern meanings of the word do not derive from the Cornish word ''frig'' meaning ''wife'' or from the Germanic deity Frigg, the wife of Odin. The deity Frigg has sometimes been referred to in recent times as "Friga" or "Frigga" in order to distance her from the English word ''frig''. The word's use as a synonym for ''masturbate'' dates to 1598 in the United Kingdom while its use as a euphemism for ''fuck'' dates to 1879 in the United Kingdom. ''Frig'' has entered the Australian English lexicon. In the U.S. state of Maine, ''frig'' does not have the sexual connotations it has elsewhere and has gained social acceptance in the phrase ''frig around'' meaning ''to fool around'' or ''to putter around''.
==In popular culture==
*The word is used in the title of the bawdy drinking song "Friggin' in the Riggin'".
