This is one of The Baron's all time favorite words and the scourge of the Boston public transit system.
Frotteurism refers to a paraphilic interest in rubbing, usually one's pelvis or erect penis, against a non-consenting person for sexual gratification. It may involve touching any part of the body including the genital area. A person who practices frotteurism is known as a frotteur. The majority of frotteurs are male and the majority of victims are female although female on male, female on female, and male on male frotteurs exist. This activity is often done in circumstances where the victim cannot easily respond, in a public place such as a crowded train or concert.
The Baron is pretty sure that this word is an onomatopoeia but he can't quite nail down the sound it would make. Probably something like taut corduroy rubbing on a coarse grit sandpaper....
