"Friggin" is about as offensive as Colonel Potter's "horse hockey" or "buffalo chips," in my opinion.
Every once in a while I hear callers/hosts use "pissed off" on the radio. Not sure of the current status regarding the phrase, but I was given a talking-to for saying it on-air during my rookie year about 15 years ago.
Boy, was Coach Popavich STEAMED after that lousy call!! |

I worked radio for a few years before landing a TV gig.
Doing some live hits from a cajun festival in Louisiana.
For some reason or another, I said "pissed off".
When I returned to the station, the GM/Owner called me into the office and "requested" that I don't use that term again while live on the air.
Funny that a while later, our ND was doing a live hit somewhere and a person he was interviewing worked "f*cking A!" into an answer.
When "f*cking A" is worked into our everyday vonacular, we are then screwed.
