“freier is an adjective. It comes from the dictionary. It is quite simple. In French it means a suitor; in German, ‘Get off my back, maybe another time’ or ‘Don’t worry, we’ve had you by the neck for a long time now’; in Romanian it means ‘Of course!’ and so forth… An international word.” (from the manifesto by N. Pleasure)
