>I have noticed, over the past ten or fifteen years, that this alternative construction has been carried over (usually, but not always in a jocular vein) to other words. So, one is neither "frighted" nor "frightened", but "frit". Which, I suppose, makes the agent of afright a "fritter"

I'm always applying this concept to "freak out", i.e. "She fruck out when she discovered that her boyfriend hadn't fed the cat for 3 days."

So would that make the person responsible for freaking someone out a "frucker"?
