Anyone who is a regular viewer of Battlestar Galactica is familiar with the popular curse word that is used on the show to substitute for the banned F word. The word is frak and it's used liberally in every episode. The popularity of the show has caused the word to leap from TV into popular usage. I know that I use it a lot in everyday conversation. What I didn't realize is tht the word is not new to this incarnation of the show, but was originally coined in the series way back in the 70s. What you're really wondering is who the frak is the 12th Cylon on Battlestar Galactica. The Huffingston Post sat down with the Sci Fi Channel original programming VP who teased this with that question. He didn't reveal anything, but in this profile he only would say that when you learn who it is you realize that it is a logical choice that was right under your nose all the time.
