Why this word is great
FRANION — [Noun] A cheerful, frivolous, and often dissolute idler; a professional pleasure-seeker. Origin unknown, a fitting obscurity for one who lives without a trace. Unlike “reveler,” which focuses on the boisterous act of the moment, or “paramour,” which implies a specific, amorous entanglement, the franion is defined by a habitual, airy dissolution of character. He is the ever-present figure at the tavern’s best-lit table, his laughter a touch too ready; the companion whose finest skill is turning earnest intent into a jest; the man whose pockets hold only ticket stubs and scented notes, his future mortgaged for a brighter, emptier today. To be a franion is to mistake a perpetual party for a philosophy, and to find, too late, that the last toast is always drunk alone.

- A cheerful, frivolous person, a silly man; a loose woman.“First by her side did sitt the bold Sansloy,
Fitt mate for such a mincing mineon,
Who in her loosenesse tooke exceeding ioy;
Might not be found a francker franion,
Of her leawd parts to make companion:”
