[ "Fret One" ]
1: Fret one is a term coined by Saskatoon band Stallions in reference to the way a guitar is played during an extra heavy section of music.

In order for it to sound correct the low E string must be drop-tuned to a D.
* e.g., ... "Fuuuuck, that fret one made the breakdown balls heavy."
"If Slipknot played on fret one they'd be the perfect band."

How ‘up the fret’ (stressed) you are is quantifiable by placing a number between 1-24 after the phrase (fret 1 being almost completely relaxed)
* e.g., ... Example 1: Dude... I’m so up the fret right now. That guy just pissed in my living room.
Example 2: AHHHH!!! I just missed my flight by like 2 minutes! I’m easily at fret 20!
