Odd that frore is archaic. It sounds like a term teens would like. No, not the super-intellectual teens who would visit this board and read it seriously. But teens who liked to use hip words or whatever they call hip words these days.

In fact, speaking of teens and frore, a frore frappe sounds like something they'd like to drink when out and about. 'Course that's a different frap from your sailing term, but what the heck. I can't imagine sailors who'd finished up a bit of frapping and then wanting to go ashore for a frore frappe.

In reply to:

2 an artistic rubbing or tracing from a surface that is textured, raised, etc.

I have seen some of this on a crowded subway train, with outraged profanity produced.


Amazing! Another instance of contemporary art shocking the masses!

Well, I've got a 3 and a half year old that's still a real frapper!

Just reporting in that central Virginia today wears a frore cape that becomes frorier by the hour.
