this is wikipedia version about "freeter"

I must admit I have never come across it before.

Freeter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I guess its like saying FREE-TIMER meaning not working-- just working part time.

some peope do many other things in their free-time. Such as doing hobbies and having fun or volunteering etc.

Our language is changing constantly-- with a lot of AMERICAN influences and of course with texting onmobiles-- which is like shorthand-- that is also changing our language as I suspect it does elsewhere as language is living and changing constantly.


My gr children use many expressions that I don't understand.
