Noun.
1. A relatively small, lightly armed warship normally tasked with ASW (anti-submarine warfare) and POS (protection of shipping, i.e. convoy escort). Frigates are less expensive than destroyers, and are therefore much more common among smaller navies. Frigate hulls are generally large enough to accomodate a full weapons suite, but frigates in large navies such as that of the United States are more lightly armed than the maximum weight available. Modern frigates typically carry at least one helicopter for ASW and SAR (search and rescue).
NATO standard designations are: FF (gun frigate), FFG (guided missile frigate), FFGN (nuclear-powered guided missile frigate, no longer used), and DE (destroyer escort, no longer used).

Get the farirai mug.The end result of a particularly strong fart with enough sustained vibratto combined with the correct tightness in jeans that only affords passage of said flatulence around and over the vaginal passage which culminates in tickling the bean in that oh so special way.
The elusive fartgasm can always be identified by it's telltale sound which is something akin to a bulldog slurping up a bowl of mayonnaise.
