Summary
Pepper Ann finds the word "Frasny" written on the wall of the girls' bathroom. She doesn't know what it means, so she starts using it in conversation to see if anyone else has heard it.
Unfortunately, due to the fact that no one wants to admit to not knowing what the word means, she only succeeds in turning it into the new "hip" word at school.
