I frankly don't know. I think it's frink... Not sure.

Most of the name stayed the same in the translation to Canadian French, I think. Well, they translated bleeding gum, that kind of thing. One exception is Sideshow Whatever, who didn't get translated, but did in the French version. Something like that...

I'll check on that again.
