      habitual frank addicts will use terms such as this: (often times to secure their next high) "u frankin, bro?" "pass the frank" "let me cop some of that fire no.2" ...other terms are used to describe the high such as being "franked out of it" or "franking my nut off" a large dose of frank is known simply as the "full frank mccourt" which often times involves the full clip being played over loud speakers in multiple tabs at 0.25x speed. the clip is slowed down apparently to achieve a "longer lasting" high, but medical researchers are quick to point out that this actually has no observable effect on the way the human body absorbs soundwaves
