I’ve noticed a new word lately: Frape. It’s a verb, and the F stands for Facebook. The bois (plural of boi, not French wood – see how I’m compelled to geek myself out of any cool points for my urban lingo?) have apparently been Fraping each other senseless lately and finding it the source of much traumatic hilarity. (I’m not sure there’s any established convention but I think “Frape” should have a capital F.)
A couple of nights ago Adz the Russian found Obri-On’s Facebook profile left open and posted a lengthy status update on Obri-On’s behalf lamenting his sexually transmitted illnesses and the unwashed state of his genitalia, complete with a link to Google images of herpes sores. This was apparently a kind of pre-emptive revenge attack; the bois are all in a state of constant paranoia, convinced that they could be Fraped at any moment. Since they often share a PC to compete with each other on Facebook games, this has left them more than a little squirrelly.
I must admit, I once Fraped a friend and changed his profile pic to one of him passed out drunk on a pile of empty bottles, his head nestled on a large stuffed toy version of Patrick from Spongebob Squarepants. This, I maintain, was to teach him a valuable lesson about internet security. And incidentally about alcohol abuse too.
Has there been a Frape-related court case yet? I mean related to Frape as I’ve described it, not to horrible rape cases like those in Essex and British Columbia that have included posting photos or videos on FB. There’s been lawsuits against people for their own status updates, but I’m not sure if anyone’s yet sued for compensation after having their Facebook profile messed with. Sure it’s just a matter of time.
In the meantime, should you be so inclined, you can view and post examples of Frape at Facebookrape.org.
