Jacob ∙ Frye | jākäb ∙ frī |
Etymology: Jacob meaning “seizing by the heel.” Frye has two possible sources. The first is as a nickname or status name from the Old English pre 7th Century word ‘freo’ or ‘frig’ meaning ‘free (born)’ i.e., not a serf, and not belonging to a lord. The second origin is from another nickname, this time for a small person from the Middle English word ‘fry’ meaning offspring, or small person.
Jacob Frye, defined by some as human disaster, is analogous to having conflicting emotions about someone, e.g.: “He drives me crazy I don’t know whether to give him a kiss that’s full of sin or give him a kick in the shins. I suppose he’s a Jacob Frye.”
Jacob Frye can also be used as an insult when responding to a false statement such as, “I think you just can’t bear to let a gorgeous guy like me out of your sight.” The response can be worded as such: “I don’t know where you get your delusions, Jacob Frye.”
In Tagalog, Jacob Frye is synonymous to makalaglag panti.
