Is it bad to be called frick and frack?

Answer 1

Frick & Frack supposedly originated with two Swiss ice skaters who began a comedy skating show in the US and took the names Frick and Frack for their stages names. As an English phrase, Frick and Frack either means two people are so alike no one can tell them apart due to dress, mannerisms, behaviors, etc., OR akin to calling someone a Bozo or the 3 Stooges. Either way, it is a put down, meant to be sarcastic and critical in a thinly veiled reference to 3 Stooges level comedy..

Example 1:

The Frick and Frack of the neighborhood, Charlie, George, and Jon, were off to race bikes--again--knowing they'd have to rebuild each one because they always crash.

Example 2:

There go Sally and Sarah, the Frick and Frack of our school, with their blonde hair in pony tails, and both wearing pink and yellow as their "signature" colors, so they claim. Frick and Frack even speak the same way and use the same words. "Hello, darlings," is how they greet people, and their goodbye sounds like something from Romeo and Juliet.

Note: Though it isn't obscene language, it still is a form of bullying, so it shouldn't be used to label a person.
