One thing I noticed was the lack of parallelism between "Synpathetic Frazz" and "Reality Frazz". Is "reality" functioning as an adjective or is it being used as part of a proper name?
@aka_darryll — The only occurrence of "frass" I've ever heard in English is what pest-control guys call the detritus from termites. I presume it's derived from German Fraß bad food. Pest-control guys probably have 100 words for different kinds of insect and rodent detritus.
It's not an adjective because of the dependents it would take. "total reality Frazz" *"totally reality Frazz" *"very reality Frazz". It's a noun functioning as a modifier, as in "church friend" or "taco dish".
Rosie Redfield: As far as I know, the only special name for a kind of insect dropping is "honeydew", produced by aphids and other insects that feed on sap.

Shouldn't that be "Frass"?

'Frass' is a general term for insect droppings of all sorts. I don't know if there are any specialized terms for different kinds…

It was supposed to be a pathetic attempt at a lame joke.
