A frangible bullet is one that is designed to disintegrate into tiny particles upon impact to minimize their penetration for reasons of range safety, to limit environmental impact, or to limit the danger behind the intended target. An example is the Glaser Safety Slug.

AFrangible is also a slang term for a type of fruity and edible treat popular in Toronto, Canada. Also in Toronto, a "frangibler" is one who picks up British men in coffee shops. (Etym: Eng. frangible (n.) + -er (suffix) > OL 'frangi': yummy, tasty)
