Usage Note

Frérot is an affectionate, informal diminutive of frère; it is used among close friends much like 'bro' in English, and is not limited to actual siblings. The feminine equivalent is frangine (informal for sister). It belongs to casual or slang registers and would be out of place in formal writing.
