Get the Friph mug.Frichen is a German dialect word that originally meant "to marry". Later, the definition was changed to "to strike". Many people in southern Germany still use the word, however it is no longer officially accepted as German. This is not what the word Frichen is remembered for, however. This word is responsible as the derivation of Fuck, which would later become the most common English cuss word as well as the most frequently mentioned F word, the biggest multi-definition F word and the only word in the English language to be known as the F word.

Get the Frichen mug.A hipster devoted to Progressive Rock and associated music. (jazz, jam, post-rock, progressive metal, etc.)
Their music may include the likes of Yes, King Crimson, Geneis, Pink Floyd or more modern bands such as Porcupine Tree or Dream Theater.
The name is a portmanteau of hipster and Robert Fripp. Fripp is the leader of the first Progressive Rock band ever: King Crimson.
Being a frippster is a paradox considering the former massive popularity of progressive rock. But since it is starting to come back into the limelight with acts such as The Mars Volta and Dream Theater, these hipsters relish saying they liked it before it was cool...

Get the robert fripp mug.An initialism used by comedians such as Adam Carolla and Anthony Cumia that stands for "frizzy haired mulatto" as a way to jokingly refer to a safe, diverse biracial female actor who is "ethnic" but not "too black," who is now featured in literally every advertisement, stock photo and supporting Hollywood role, often as the love interest of the white male lead.
Producer 1: initial cut looks great but the cast is not diverse enough
Producer 2: should I cast an African-American as the love interest?
Producer 1: good idea! But see if there's a Friham available, let's not go overboard.
