ºÚÁÏÍø does ´Ú°ù´Ç²Ô°ì¾±²Ô²µÌýmean?
Fronking is a joke slang term referring to farting in water and then “biting” the resulting bubbles. It’s also a euphemism ´Ú´Ç°ùÌýfucking, as in this fronking guy.
Where does fronking come from?
The “fart-bite-bubble” fronking was posted to Urban Dictionary by user Fronkenstein on July 7, 2014. The made-up, nonsense, potty-humor word (and concept) did not gain much traction outside Fronksenstein and his comrades until December 11, 2018, when comedian Seth Rogan tweeted about it.
Really happened upon a gem in the Urban Dictionary.

Interest in the word even inspired the hashtag #fronking.
Try it a shower, not possible! Dutch oven only similar action minus bubbles! Get kicked out though!

Before Seth Rogan popularized this niche definition, fronking was used since at least 1995 a euphemism ´Ú´Ç°ùÌýfucking, like ´Ú°ù¾±³¦°ì¾±²Ô²µÌý´Ç°ùÌýfragging. The newfound popularity of the “fart-bite-bubble” fronking, though, helped give the “fucking” fronking a boost.
He has lost his mind!

At least your politics weren’t overshadowed by fronking $2 sausages from a fronking hardware store.

Otherwise, people talk about the “fart-bubble-bite” ´Ú°ù´Ç²Ô°ì¾±²Ô²µÌýas a joke, amused by the mere idea of it. At least we hope they’re just talking about it as as joke…
I bet I have friends that are right now.
