Frankenbite 

1. A frankenbite allows editors to manufacture "story" efficiently and dramatically by extracting the salient elements of a lengthy, nuanced interview or exchange into a seemingly blunt, revealing confession or argument.

2. In reality television, the process of editing two or more sound bites together to create a different result, to fix grammar, or to change to meaning of a sentence.

Example: Adding "not" to the phrase "I'm here to make friends" results in "I'm not here to make friends".
Please frankenbite that interview so he is speaking in present tense.

Frankenbike 

A bike built up from various components scrounged from different sources (friends, swap meets, craigslist, etc.).
Elmo didn't have the money for a new bike, but he managed to assemble a Frankenbike from stuff he had lying around the garage and a few parts he picked up cheap from craigslist.

Frankenmom 

A middle-aged, fake boobed, fake-tanning, brazillian waxing, navel-piercing, reality-TV-obsessed woman who dresses like a slutty 12-year old and hangs out with her kids' friends, clinging to a fabled youth that was never hers to have. She takes all the wrong lessons from youth culture (and pop culture in general), with no ethical or aesthetic scruples whatsoever.

Most likely a divorcee. If not, she's trying desperately to "spice up" her marriage. Almost exclusively a product of the 2000s decade, found most commonly in the US and UK.
I kept trying to talk to that girl but this frankenmom kept moving in on me. Super creepy.

Frankenbrow 

When the bone above your eyebrow sticks out in such a way that you resemble Frankenstein.
"Did you see that kid Billy? Not only did he have a uni but he had a frankenbrow too!"

frankendolling 

To take parts from other dolls (see dolling) to create one of your own. This can be by changing the colours, copying the shape of an article of clothing, etc. This is a extremely serious offense in the dolling community. The likely-hood of not being caught is zero to one. Dollers in the community are always very familiar with eachothers works.
"A person once frankendolled a doll I had done of myself. She was obvious about it too. She had simply changed the colours of the pixels. And then had the nerve to post about loving my work in my tag board!"
"Doll removed due to frankendolling."
