What Does FR Stand For?

For real

In text, chat, and social media messages, fr typically means "for real." Most often, people use this abbreviation to assert that they really meant whatever they just said.

You may also see fr used as part of a question, asking whether someone else is being serious. ("That can't be true. Fr?") If someone's emotions are running high, they may type fr as FR, to show they're especially serious or incredulous.

Example

Did you hear that Clayton got suspended yesterday? Fr? Fr, bro

Sofia the First: Forever Royal

FR is shorthand that originated in online fan communities and social media as a playful way for fans of the Disney Junior animated series Sofia the First to refer to the Forever Royal TV special. The FR special aired on September 8, 2018, and was the series finale of the show.

Fans of the show are the primary users of the acronym. The fans may be kids, tweens, parents who watched the show with their children, or nostalgic fans who grew up watching the show. Also, you'd likely see it in forums and other online spaces that the Sofia the First fandom reaches.

Example

Just rewatched Sofia the First for the hundredth time Same here! She’s the best princess ever Totally! FR in our hearts

For reference

In emails, FR may mean "for reference." Most often, you'll encounter this version of FR in work emails, in which a colleague has included some additional information or another recipient to ensure everyone's in the loop.

For example, if you and a colleague are discussing delays to a product rollout, your colleague may add a member of your business's marketing team to the email chain FR. That way, the marketing team won't be blindsided by the delay.

Example

I'm going to send this to Cindy FR, since she should know what we're doing

A man who has not been looped in FR
