            Mike,
            Actually "be-f***king-hind" is a British grammatical construct,
            known as the "infix profane".
             
            Speaking as one knowledgable in American idioms,
                there is no-f***ing-way an American would have conceived of
            the f***ing infix construct...

    Delenn said "abso-fragging-lutely dammit" on Babylon 5 once. Wasn't that
    American?
    Jill
