FruK

FruK is a term that emerged from online communities, particularly those associated with fanfiction and fandom. It is a portmanteau of the words "frugal" and "f***," suggesting a desire to engage in sexual activity without the financial expenditure often associated with dating or relationships. The concept implies a transactional or mutually beneficial arrangement where intimacy is exchanged for services, goods, or simply the avoidance of dating costs.

The term is often used humorously or ironically to describe situations where individuals might seek casual encounters with a focus on practicality or cost-saving. It can be seen as a modern, informal take on older concepts like "friends with benefits" but with an added emphasis on minimizing financial outlay. The usage of FruK is generally confined to informal online discussions and is not a widely recognized or formal term. Its meaning and implications can vary depending on the context and the individuals using it, often reflecting a pragmatic or cynical view of relationships and intimacy in contemporary society.
