FRICTIONARY: A collection of words and phrases we love in no particular order.

Some words are real, and exist in other languages to express feelings of love, longing, closeness or contentment.

Some words are portmanteaux created by a lovely mind who put just the right syllables together to create a term of pure perfection. (FRICTIONARY is just such a word!)

Some words are familiar, but we like to be reminded of them.

Some words existed a long, long time ago and were used by people like you and me to describe the things that seemingly never go out of style. They may sound different – but the description gets us right in the feels.

And finally, some FRICTIONARY entries are entire phrases … because this isn’t a dictionary. It’s a FRICTIONARY – And we say Fric your rules about what we can put in here.

Wherever they came from, whatever they are, these are words that belong in our vocabulary, so we’ve added them to FRICTIONARY. We hope these words tickle you as much as they tickle us. In just that right spot!
