"m blessed to have a fren like Peesaravanmuthudoubledeckerbus!"
"bas tu hi to meri sacchi fren hai!"
It gets worse! They have somehow formulated modifiers around the contorted excuse for a word. Like:
"just hanging out with frens."
"I'm a simpal gal who cherishes frenship."

Now you're finally scared, aren't you?
