(名詞) 一個人最親近的朋友，尤指那些覺得好像是家庭一份子的人。這個字是由 friends 和 family 拼綴而成。
引句：
It was no surprise then that a recent study concluded that 67 per cent of us consider our pals to be just as important as our extended families. Now that relatives are often spread across the country or the globe, we are replacing traditional relations with friends, coining a new term for our collective chumfest — "framilies".
—Shari Low, "Someone tell Paris girl pals are forever," Daily Record, October 16, 2008
