The FR 5/18 word is in the grid; where did "dont get FR--- with me!" usage come from?

6:31 am

ItalianGreyhound

not a test, I just dont know

6:33 am

hokie carla

no idea, but I will google

6:36 am

hokie carla

from a reddit etymology thread: comes from old german frech, became american slang in 1850s.

6:37 am

hokie carla

other google results don't mention that but merriam-webster agrees

6:38 am

ItalianGreyhound

wow - Thank you; I google Frech and all I get is a tennis player

ItalianGreyhound

being FR5 is good and clean - or will get your face slapped

6:41 am

ItalianGreyhound

I love words

6:42 am

hokie carla

if you look in a german dictionary it comes up as cheeky or impudent

6:43 am

ItalianGreyhound

I think youve nailed it, Carla

I've been playing at spellingbee.org does anyone know where hurshy plays? not the same grid because she said babble was in today's grid. The one I"m playing must be easy because I've reached genius twice in a row.
