Frei is German/Yiddish for "Free".
The term Frei is generally used to describe a Jewish person who is not religiously observant; specifically one who at some point was religiously/observant but no longer is.
a) Mendel: "Etty, you heard the rumors about Schneur?"
Etty: "No. What now, Mendel?"
Mendel: "Apparently Schneur is no longer religious. He went completely Frei."
Etty: "I'm not surprised at all. I already heard a while back, Schneur has been secretly hangin' out with a group of Frei'd-out friends."

b) Goldy: "Chaim, I can't deal with all these so-called divine Jewish laws/rules. I believe they're all man-made."
Chaim: "You have to follow the laws/rules regardless of whether you believe them to be the truth. It's not like you have a choice."
Goldy: "Wrong! I have a choice. I'm gonna go Frei! Many have Frie'd out successfully and I can do it to."

Feuer Frei 

One of Rammstein's most popular and well-known songs, first released in 2001 on their album Mutter and having gained mainstream recognition due to an appearance on the movie xXx. The song's title basically means "Fire freely!" in German (used in the sense of "fire at will" by German soldiers during combat). Live performances of this song highlight the band's unmitigated passion for flames and burning eruptions, which further cements the mainstream's misinterpretation of this song as being directly associated with fire. But the far worse twist of n00bism is any idiot that refers to the song as "BANG BANG!" (which just happens to be the following line in the song's chorus, after "Feuer Frei!"). There aren't many ways for Rammstein to be degraded even further by the sheer, undeniable ignorance of the mainstream masses, but calling them "Rob Zombie clones" is certainly one of them. Any real fan of Rammstein's music would recognize that the depth, musical talent and plain kick-ass rhythms of these w00t Germans would (and should) be insulted by comparing them to Rob Zombie, so please disregard the last definition written for this entry.
"Geadelt ist wer Schmerzen kennt,
vom Feuer das in Lust verbrennt,
Ein Funkenstoß,
in ihren Schoß,
Ein heißer Schrei,
FEUER FREI!"

Word of the Day on October 17, 2026
A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
