this triggered a memory in me. The term "filfre" is a spell in the enchanter text based series from infocom, taken from the response when another editor wanted to make changes on some code. "Feel free".
I tried to search it to find something to back this up but I am coming up empty, but I did find the original use for the spell:
“The filfre spell – cause gratuitous fireworks to appear”
It is otherwise useless in the game save for entertainment factor.
