Frolic as a noun?

[Torsten]

Hi,

I've just come across the following phrase and wonder if 'frolic' can be used a noun:

I was all keyed up for good fun and frolics.

Thanks,

Yep. noun: gay or light-hearted recreational activity for diversion or amusement (Example: "Their frolic in the surf threatened to become ugly").

I always come across fun and frolic and I wonder if frolics is as common. I also wonder if saying frolics is the same as saying funs, which I assume is not common.

Any advice?

For our reference (from Cambridge Dict):

frolic [C or U] OLD-FASHIONED-- happy and playful behaviour.
'a harmless frolic'; 'It was all fun and frolics until it began to pour down with rain'.

frolics (plural noun) happy and playful behaviour.

While frolic is either countable or uncountable, fun remains only a non-count noun, so (X) funs is not good English.
