/Sounds like "FRAH" (as in "fracture") + "hoh" (as in "hope")/

Meaning

A cigarette in Chicano and Pachuco slang, classic barrio vocabulary still alive along the US-Mexico border. Asking for a "frajo" means bumming a smoke outside a job or a party.

Examples

He stepped out to smoke a frajo before heading back to work.

Regional synonyms

A wildcard Venezuelan exclamation (especially in Zulia state) expressing shock, annoyance, or emphasis, or used as a filler in almost any sentence. It's said so often that it has lost most of its vulgar edge and become everyday speech.
