f-cking
Though there's no context, it generally means something that you don't agree.
In my opinion, "damn" is used when something has affected you, while "f-cking" is used for expressing a point of view.

fricken
Slang phrase, very similar to "fricken". "Those are fricken expensive."
Example sentence:
Those are fricken expensive.

: I agree with 'fricken', but not sure about 'expensive'. There's no indication that 舍本逐末 refers to 'expensive' although it could be. EDITED to agree: I think you are just giving an example of its use. :)

: :) No need 上下文. Everyone knows TMD = 他妈的...
Besides, TMD is not only used in China...
In fact, a close equivalent is probably the F word in English...

Fu*k it all!!!
都 means "all", and "TMD" is first letters of "他媽的"(pinyin: Ta Ma De), what literally means "f*ck ur mother", and its the worst swearing word in Chinese. U can hear it very often either in China or Taiwan (sometimes just Ma de). Funny thing: when the current president of Taiwan, whose sure name is 馬(Ma) was running for presidency, he made a slogan "他馬的".
Something went wrong...
