What is Francine?
1.
Someone that is amazing beyond all comparison. They are typically one of the best friends that you could ask for, always providing help in some way. The term probably originates from somewhere within the northern regions of Earth, but nobody is sure about it's first use.
Person 1: ...and then we ended up splitting.
Person 2: Aw, I'm sorry, man!
Person 1: You're such a Francine.
Person 2: Okay?
Person 1: I *like* it.

2.
A clueless, nebbish, or otherwise lost individual. A Francine can be of either gender, and has nothing to do with femininity/masculinity. Rather, to be a Francine, one usually must make a dumb or glaringly obvious suggestion, or generally behave in a manner which is more becoming of a slightly brain-damaged garden slug.
This term seems to have originated from the 1984 film, "Ghostbusters." It was coined by Dr. Peter Venkman, played by Billy Murray, in reference to Dan Aykroyd's character.
"I was thinking that maybe for Halloween, we should carve some pumpkins!"
"Wow, way to be on top of the decorating, Francine."
