It has unmatched versatility, and it references an awesome TV show that not enough people know of. What need would anyone have for another curseword?

Personally, I'm not a big fan of cursing, as it almost never actually adds anything to a conversation, and I feel that given how often most people curse, the words lose their impact. There's nothing shocking about cursewords when people use them all the time, so what's the point?
It's not really about being shocking, but about what you get across with them. I will say that the F-word is easily the most versatile word in the english language (if you don't believe me, there's a documentary on the word that is both entertaining and enlightening). It can serve so many uses, and it gets all of it's meanings across quickly and easily. When you hear someone yell it in anger, you know exactly what's going on.

And as much as I love Farscape and the word Frell, I have to put Frak slightly above it in terms of awesomeness. It's close enough to the sound of the word it's meant to replace to easily convey the same meanings. Frell just never sounded harsh enough when someone was yelling it in anger for example.
