Even Euphemisms are Risky these Days

"A billboard campaign for "Crispy Frickin' Chicken" is ruffling the feathers of a Pennsylvania couple who believe the word "frickin'" is a "euphemism for fornication." Michael and Shari Sucec of Harrisburg, Pa., have asked supervisors in Derry Township to join their fight against the placard promoting a Sheetz Made To Order sandwich. "It really is profanity," Michael Sucec said, according to the Lebanon Daily News.

The couple received a letter from Louie Sheetz, executive vice president of marketing for the fast-food chain. In the letter, Sucec said, Sheetz wrote that the use of the commonly used word was intended as a humorous twist to attract customers.
