Frenching the Bully is the debut studio album by Seattle punk rock band the Gits. It was originally released as a 12-track album on C/Z Records in 1992 but was later reissued in 2003 with bonus tracks and different cover art on the Broken Rekids label. It was reissued again in 2025 by Sub Pop. "A stunning document of the talent ... [of] singer Mia Zapata ... She sings with such conviction, ferocity, and expressiveness that the lyrics become irrelevant. The band becomes irrelevant." –River Cities' Reader{{cite news|title=The Best Music of 2003 You Might Have Missed|url=http://www.rcreader.com/news/the-best-music-of-2003/|accessdate=7 May 2012|newspaper=River Cities' Reader|date=23 December 2003|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140517124712/http://www.rcreader.com/news/the-best-music-of-2003/|archive-date=17 May 2014|url-status=dead}}
