Well, Seinfeld could be attributed to “Yadda, Yadda, Yadda.” I have actually used that to shorten a story. But it is a phrase…technically speaking.

Actually they used Frak in the original 1978-79 BSG. Not sure how far back Farscape goes.

Frak is from the original BSG.

Bugs Bunny never said “strategery.” He said “stragety.” Get your pop culture references straight, people. Sheesh.

Bugs’ mispronunciations were all over the place, aided by his Flatbush accent. That said, I don’t think I ever remember him saying “strategery”.

Bob — Mon, 09 May 2011 16:14:40 +0000

You took the word right out of my mouth.

Tim — Mon, 09 May 2011 14:22:15 +0000

Blurgh? Really? Blurgh?

Your list can be summed up in the very word that it should have been designed to celebrate yet confoundedly omits: Meh.

Frak, originally spelled “frack”, was used on the original Battlestar Gallactica..and thus predates Farscape.

Big Sugi — Mon, 09 May 2011 04:55:48 +0000

One word for the list: meh.
