Hahahhaa omg yes that was rather bizarre. BSG frakking = good, real world frakking = not so much

It's kind of a funny coincidence -- the abbreviation "fracking" for hydraulic fracturing is pretty old

But the issue of new fracking wells exploded around when nBSG was popular and probably influenced that word becoming common

As the industry has lamented, bc the word has a very negative connotation now

You could even handwave that "frak" in BSG comes from "fracture" the way "fuck" IRL comes from an ancient word "to strike, penetrate"
