Many of the original OPJFC members came from the Highlander:The Series fandom, and for those of us here, Highlander:The Raven. The term Fru originally came up on the Rysher Highlander Forum, and I believe was the formation for Clan MacFru. I think it's just habit for those of us who know the term, to use it when we want to do something involving pictures. Fru fight, Fru poker, and Gaby's Fru Weekend.
I did a little research and this is the explanation given for the word Fru(oddly enough given by our own OPJFC member, petshark, on another forum)
The term "fru" for picture came from the Highlander message board, was brought over by someone I knew from that cyber-village. Anyway, it came from someone's husband who had seen his wife gawking at pictures of the actors there. He called his wife and cyber-company "frufru-floozies". I guess he meant that the pictures were a little "fru fru" for a message board, more fluffy than he thought was appropriate.

I hope that answers your question...
