Yes. I really taught myself to speak that way. I first did it as an accident trying not to say the 'f' word, then decided it would be fun to actually not say it like that in normal conversation.
It's not hard to learn. You can practice by saying anything where the 'f' word could be inserted. When you get to that critical point, start with the 'f' sound but leave out the middle and end with the 'k' annunciation.
Very quickly you'll be able to say it with less and less of the 'f' and the 'k' and still get your point across.
The woman I'm talking about is not an exception, either. Many times people thought I said it but when pressed, had to admit I really didn't (my mom was always fun to do this around!)
In a way, it shows respect while still allowing you to... uh, express yourself.
Try it. You can have a lot of fun with it, especially around more prim and proper folks.

WTF??? But seriously, do you really talk like that? If so, very interesting...and to answer your question I think it's a good solution if you are around family type crowds. BUT our minds have the amazing ability to organize chaos or read words backwards (ever seen that paragraph hewre the orwds are all crasmbled but like 75% of us can eard it nyaway) :-) something like that.... so I suppose it's not too far of a stretch that our minds would hear things that aren't even there, a mental fill-in-the-blank. Plain freaky! So I assumed you electronically deleted the word...did you simply speak it that way?
