when friends become like family, they're framily. closer than close, they may know you better than your own family.
"we're framily, all 9 of us."
by Sarika N. January 31, 2007
n. Friends or blood relatives to whom we would actually choose to be related, because the relationship is mutually respectful, close, supporting and affectionate. The favorite people in our lives we would include in our family, whether they are blood-related or not, typically because we love them.
Gilda thought, "Why don't I invite the entire framily?," and made labels that included her best friends Tanya and CeeCee from school, her parents, her brothers, and Vicky from next door - they had become very close since Vicky first offered to watch the dog when Gilda went to Texas.

Dinner was astounding! I think Paula Dean could learn a few things from our framily matriarch!
Thank God for my framily matriarch! Without her I couldn't have afforded a vacation this year!
I am thankful for my framily matriarch: Mother to all Misfit Children, she who shrinks when she's angry, buys Christmas decorations in July, grills a mean London broil, turns vegetarians into carnivores, cooks for all us with love and gives each and every one of us a place of home and sense of family regardless of our situation.

It's funny that I have been using this word since the late 90s in my small Pennsylvania town. I can't say if I originated it but I never heard it used before other than by me and my Family. Even some that have come into my circle over the course of life never heard the word either.
So the true definition when I 1st used it was what everyone has pretty written in there definitions of it.
My definition has always and will always be
A friend or friends that has been there with you through every struggle or accomplishment. Through life and death they have held your hand or been that shoulder to cry on. They are the next best thing and sometimes the best thing over real family. They're people that your biological family adopt them an make them a son/daughter, brother/sister, Aunt/Uncle, niece/nephew, or cousin. There isn't an ounce of blood shared between y'all but if they were in need of a transfusion you would give them that ounce if you are a match. You would go to war and die for these people they would do the same. You would go against some biological family for them. That is the true definition of Framily. I have the best Framily in the world. We are Beautifully blended (Black, Caucasian, Latino) but we really don't see that, we just see family!
