Definitions
An expletive-infixed intensification of 'fantastic', inserting 'freaking' (a minced oath) mid-word for emphatic comic effect. The word follows standard English expletive infixation stress rules and belongs to the same family as 'infuckingcredible' and 'abso-bloody-lutely'. The use of 'freaking' rather than the full obscenity makes it slightly more acceptable in mixed-company or professional casual contexts. Slightly safer than the fully profane version in most contexts.
She said winning the scholarship was fanfreakingtastic and she was still in shock.
Comments
An expletive-infixed superlative where 'freaking' is shoved into the middle of 'fantastic' for maximum emphasis — a linguistic move technically called 'expletive infixation' but far more fun than that sounds. It's what you say when plain 'fantastic' just doesn't cut it and you need your enthusiasm to be felt physically. Common in American English, used for genuine excitement, enthusiastic sarcasm, or theatrical approval. The more syllables you stretch it over, the more dramatic the effect.
She got the promotion, the pay rise, and a corner office — absolutely fanfreakingtastic all round.

An expletive-infixed intensifier that takes incredible and makes it even more emphatic by inserting fucking right in the middle. This technique — technically called expletive infixation or tmesis — is surprisingly rule-governed in English; you can only insert the intensifier at specific syllable boundaries and in-fucking-credible hits the right spot perfectly. It conveys pure, unfiltered amazement that regular incredible just can't match.
