My guess is that most kids don't know what "friggin" means. Most people don't, either. It's roughly the same as the "F-bomb" to which you referred. With this one, I would pass just like I would if they said the "darn ball."

I have zero tolerance for blatant profanity if I see who says it. It's unsportsmanlike and detracts from the game. Furthermore, there are usually small kids in the bleachers, and that sets a bad example. There was one last night behind my back, but I couldn't ID the offender.

What constitutes blatant? I guess I go with Mick. I know it when I hear it and the "bell goes off!"
