- frfr mode68%
Frfr mode is when someone drops all the performance, irony, and social padding and just operates on complete, unfiltered honesty. It's being switched into a state of total sincerity — no jokes, no hedging, no caveats. Someone in frfr mode will say what they actually think about your situation without softening it, will admit what they actually feel without deflecting, and will engage with reality as it is rather than as everyone pretends it is. Entering frfr mode is often announced ('I'm going frfr mode right now') as a warning that what follows will be genuinely real.

- flex mode66%
Flex mode is the deliberate headspace someone enters when they've decided the moment calls for full display of their best — status, style, wealth, talent, whatever weapon they've got. It's less a personality trait than a switch: normally you might keep things understated, but flex mode means the gloves are off and the Instagram angles are immaculate. Used in hip-hop culture and online vernacular alike, going into flex mode signals intention. You're not accidentally looking this good or accidentally mentioning that price tag — this is conscious, curated, and calculated.
- unspoken fren65%
A mutual but never formally declared friendship — two people who clearly vibe, look out for each other, and act like close friends without ever explicitly labelling the relationship or saying they are friends. Common in online spaces where bonds form through repeated interactions rather than formal introductions.
