What is a Friki Fish???
It’s you and me. Unique, vibrant, creative souls….
friki

Borrowed from English freaky.
Spanish word that defines: freak, weirdo, geek, nerd, guru, otaku, mangaka, comic liker, book reader, videogame player, film lover and any other person whose likings are not cars, chicks and soccer. You may only like movies, but as a “friki” you like all the other stuff, look weird or act clumsy.
