Fratricide

That one Steam award you get when you kill the companion cube in Portal. You know, the one that made MatPat from Game Theory make a video about how the cubes have dead bodies in them.
(also, the actual definition is killing your brother/sister)

Jeff: You get to the part in Portal where you have to incinerate the companion cube?
Brian: Yeah. It's a shame. That cube was like a brother to me.
Jeff: Whatever fratricide is, I don't want any part in it.

Frantic

The first track of heavy metal band Metallica's eighth studio album, "St. Anger". The song's lyrics deal with personal struggle and addiction, as well as the Buddhist principle of dukkha.

This song is particularly notable for its chorus, in which singer James Hetfield growls the word "Frantic", followed by repeating the syllable "tic" six times per line, finishing with the utterance of "tock", mimicking the sound of a ticking clock.

This chorus has been recognized by online communities for its repetitiveness, and has been the subject of several edited videos in which Hetfield repeats the "tic" syllable indefinitely, similar to "the best," a meme built off of "Best of You" by the Foo Fighters. This is unofficially known as the "Frantic Roll."

"FRANTIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC-TIC"

franticky

Franticky is a combination of FRANTIC + PANICKY. It describes a situation in which a person is in a desperate hurry to do something, escape from a situation, etc., but whose efforts don't work because the panicked nature of his/her mood makes focus and resolve impossible.

"June, the phone bill is right here under your nose. You'd have found if if you hadn't been blindly riffling through the papers, all franticky."
