Is this a "bad word"?

[Tiggeroo]

In our house I don't let the teens use friggin or freakin in everyday conversation around me. In a temper or something similar I usually let it slide. I have told my sons that the language that they use around other guys playing hockey or football should be different that what they use around moms or other females. Don't curse in front of women. Also, they know I feel it is wrong to take God's name in vain as it violates a ten commandment.
The new thing here is my 18yo college daughter has been testing the waters by using crap when in a fit. My sister and I crap up as do her brothers. She is a super straight laced kid and it makes me feel she is more of an ordinary kid when she does this. She too has been taught there is a time and place for everything.
So, I guess I think friggin' is a curse, but a mild one.

I'm not sure if it would be perceived as a bad word or not for adults. I'm sure many kids would get sent to the principle or their parent(s) would get a nice letter from the teacher for saying it though.

A good friend of mine would freak when I'd say piss around her. I'd say 'piss ant', or 'I feel pissy'. She told me it was a bad word. I disagree. After her divorce a couple of years ago, she told me she felt pissy about her ex.

My mother definately feels that saying the word 'fart' is cursing. i try so hard not to say it around her but I mess up all the time. i can't figure out why, it's not like it's a word I use frequently. Right now I believe I only use the word when mom's in hearing distance
