Huh, curious. It clearly didn't originate with Postgresql developers, as one can find uses of the word sprinkled around here and there in old literature. One neat way to see uses of it is to search on Google Books: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&hl=en&q=%22frammish%22 https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&hl=en&q=%22frammish%22 That said, I don't see anything that purports to give a definitive definition of the word - everybody who uses it seems to assume that everyone else knows it. And at least at first blush, I don't see anything that attempts to explain the origin / etymology of the word either. It's the kind of thing you'd almost expect to see in the "Jargon File" but it doesn't appear to be there either. http://catb.org/jargon/html/go01.html http://catb.org/jargon/html/go01.html
