Frony-tail

Deriving from front-pony-tail, a frony-tail occurs when a man ties up the chunk of his hair that is usually hanging on his forehead or is slicked backwards, in a vertical pony tail in the middle of where the hairline starts at the forehead.

This can have multiple advantages especially in the hotter months of year, avoiding the hair sticking to the subject's forehead.
"Dude, you're rocking that frony-tail!"
"Do you have a hair rubber band? My hair is sticking to my face like white on rice, imma frony-tail it"

Fonny Rocket 

Hemorrhoid suppositories shaped like a rocket designed to relieve the symptoms of piles in the rectum.

The Fonny Rocket is a special suppository designed to heal hemorrhoids in 3 days or less.
Fonny Rocket does not get lost in the rectum but stays comfortably in place for many hours to soothe and heal inflamed tissue.

frowny-face journalism 

A subset of the more general human interest story, frowny-face journalism takes some boring, abstract, impersonal policy change or social problem, takes a big photo of some sad children whose playcentre is closing, an old couple who are being forced out of their subsidised housing or, in this case, a recently unemployed man losing his home(s). This way, readers automatically know what to think about the story - generally 'awwwww'.
"Did you read that article about the sad children whose playcentre was bulldozed down and replaced with a right-wing lobby group headquarters?"

"Was it Frowny-face journalism"

"it made me go awwww"

frowny-face journalism 

Frowny-face journalism is a subset of the more general human interest story, which takes some boring, abstract, impersonal policy change or social problem, uses a large photo to illustrate the sadness of the story (e.g.crying children whose playcentre is closing or an old couple who are being forced out of their subsidised housing). As a consequence, readers automatically know what to think about the story - generally 'awwwww'. This is bad enough in itself, but there is an added danger: that of taking the analogy between the sad individual and the social issue too far.
Reading such stories is a common cause of news-rage
Example of a frowny-face journalism piece from the New Zealand Herald "Bruce Burgess, 60 years old and a qualified engineer, has been busy his entire adult life. Aside from a couple of years overseas in the early 1970s, he has worked, paid his taxes and saved his money.
His wife Jo has held down regular work as an office administrator and accounts person. Neither of them smoke, they don't take extravagant holidays, and drink only occasionally."
It makes you go "awwww"
