Freaking Good, Freaking Bad

The adjective "freaking" is quite versatile, I know, but is it more pejorative than complimentary, or the opposite?

If I try a delicious smoothie in a new place, can I just say to my co-worker that this smoothie "is freaking fantastic!"? Or should I simply stick with "delicious"? :-)

Thank you!

'freaking' is a euphemism for a much worse word in English. I recommend that you stay away from it. Stick with 'delicious'.
