    "Frack" is the dubious practice of fracturing rocks using hydraulic pressure aided by various unnamed chemicals. All the oil companies say it's totally safe but strangely southern OH has had 11 earthquakes since they started fracking and virtually none if the previous 20 years. Is there a relationship?

    That's fracking.

    OTOH, "frack!" is a slang word used instead of the "f-bomb" in certain syfy movies and tv shows. I first heard it commonly used in the tv series "Glactica" but I've heard it used in movies too. Frack, like its more obscene 4-letter cousin is a universal part of speech and can be used as an adjective, adverb, verb, object of a preposition or even a noun.
