| The only Colonial that uses it extensively is [[Starla]]. She calls a fellow [[Super Scout]] a frimp when describing an apple from the scout handbook {{1980|Troy}} procured {{G80|The Super Scouts, Part I}} and later, at the [[Griffith Park Observatory]], asks her fellow Scouts if [[Marcy]] is a frimp {{G80|The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I}}.

| * The term "frimp" originates from the 1970 publication of [[w:Robert A. Heinlein|Robert A. Heinlein]]'s science fiction novel, ''[[w:I Will Fear No Evil|I Will Fear No Evil]]''. In the book, the term is a verb used to denote "every possible way to copulate—every possible way to hook up two or more bodies—and number—of any sex, or combinations of all six sexes. Includes far-out combinations that are shocking and outrageous."<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.urbangeek.net/geek/dictionary/geekspeakd-f.html|title=Geek Speak dictionary|accessdate=7 January 2007|archive=Y|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715194115/http://www.urbangeek.net/geek/dictionary/geekspeakd-f.html|archivedate=15 July 2011}}</ref>
