A euphemistic or minced oath variant of a stronger curse word, used as a mild exclamation or to express mild frustration.
A euphemistic alteration of a vulgar word, created by replacing the final consonant sound. This type of word creation became popular in 1950s-60s speech as a way to avoid explicit language.
Euphemisms like 'fruggin'' show how speakers constantly create ways to express strong feelings while avoiding offending others—it's basically linguistic self-censorship that entire communities adopt together.
