To detest the word "Frape"

[Asmodeus]

I'm see8ng and hearing a lot of people talking about "Fraping" or having been "Fraped" on FB. It sends a chill right down my spine every time I hear people say it. I find it far too flippant a play on words considering we know what the word really means.

I now it's one of those made-up words that people are using to sound cool but I put it in the same catagory as those currently running around calling their kids "sexy"

Surely these terms are a touch inappropriate?

Fijacked buch better.

I don't really like fraped

It doesn't bother me.

I dislike it as a word but I get far more irritated when I read the status of drunk females friends on a night out bragging that they are going to go home and rape their partners / husbands

I think it's a vile word. Can people honestly not think of anything more appropriate to call it? Agree with kenobi that it devalues the word rape.

its a word, much worse out there

shrugs

hopenglory, that is absolutely vile! Are people who talk like this just very insensitive, or complete morons? Or a mixture of both???

hope yeah I'm not overly fond of that either.

I do wonder if people also dislike

rape oil
oil seed rape

because the last time I checked rape had 10+ meanings

boney in the instance of frape it's used to mean forcefully enter and is used in that context. That's quite clear. Or should be.

Twape is totally new to me. What does it mean? I tried google but nothing came up.

Asmodeus

it also means

an act of plunder, violent seizure, or abuse; despoliation; violation: the rape of the countryside.

Never mind. Twitter. Just got it

in the instance of frape it's used to mean forcefully enter

no it isnt - "Facebook-rape. Where you accidentally leave your facebook logged in while your friends change all of your details to comically misleading things "

i think the word the OP used to describe herself is 200x worse

They do Boney, which is why in this country you are more like to find 'vegetable oil' instead of Rapeseed oil and in the States I believe it's marketed as Canola

Boney used in the concept of the plant and its oil it doesn't have the same meaning though. Frape is obviously using the verb, to rape, as a kind of jokey play on words.

YANBU op it's a horrible word, coined by people who I hope will never understand the full meaning of what they are saying.

People are entitled to say what they like. just as I am entitled to tell them to fuck off, rant about it or ignore then if I don't like it.

I see why it upsets people but I also know rape didn't always means what it means now. And frape doesn't mean to actually rape someone either, you're stealing their account which I belive is the correct use of the word originally?

So I don't use it because it might offend, but I don't freak out when I see it either

I hate it. I'm 23 and my 43yr old aunt wrote on my status boasting she had 'fraped' (shudder) me. Its immature enough to do it without the twato saying!

sothernfriedtofu well said

Seriously, people really get offended by the use of it?! It is a word!! A play on words that makes perfect sense!

Rape can be used in many different contexts in terms of a violation. The most well-known one obviously being forced sexual intercourse. But the word is also used for destruction of land, or violation of justice. In these senses it is nothing to do with forced sex - and people don't get offended by these uses!

Therefore 'frape' is referring to the violation of someone's facebook page.

Although OP, I'm rather perplexed as to why someone would call their child 'sexy'. Do people really do that? That's a new one to me

YABU. It is a made up word. It doesn't mean anything terrible. It's all in your head.

Completely agree with everything Whysoserious says.

whysoserious Indeed they do. I've seen mates post pics of their "sexy" children on FB.

As to it being just a word. Words have power.

I can't bear it either. YANBU.
