Fren

Friend, written in crypto-chat style: a friendly way to address someone in an online community.

PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION

In more detail

Fren is a deliberate misspelling, not a different kind of friend. People use it in greetings, replies and group messages, sometimes sincerely and sometimes with a wink. Frens is the plural. It suggests a friendly tone, but reading it in a stranger's message doesn't mean you know or can trust that person.
