a new family of F-WORDS

Midst the discussion of problems and potentials for “fracking” oil and gas out of deep oil shale deposits there is an opportunity.  
.
We are going to fight about this process and care about the fight. On a lighter-higher note, however, we can use the notoriety of this drilling technique to market a linguistic methadone.
“ Frack! Did you hear that fracking Belgium finally has a fracking government ?! ” 
One can be either for or against (or who-gives-a-frack about)  the fracking fracking process and still enjoy the new f-words.
.
If you know anything about this new-tech, you will see that the image and metaphorical substitutions are every bit as strong as the phonetic.
