What FRACK really means.....
http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-fri1.htm
Frick and Frack:
Quote:
The origin is ultimately in a famous partnership of Swiss comedy ice skaters, Werner Groebli and Hans Mauch, whose stage names these were. They came to public fame in the later years of a series of skating spectaculars called Ice Follies, promoted by Eddie Shipstad and his brother Roy, which began in 1936 and ran for almost 50 years. Their association lasted so long, and they were at one time so well known, that their names have gone into the language.
Some care may be needed in using the phrase, as it is said also to be a Black American English slang term for the testicles.

Man, and all this time I thought FRACK was the equivalent of "shucks."
Is there such a thing as fracking?
