Not only that...

Merriam Webster

frig
intransitive verb

Inflected Form(s): frigged ; frig?ging
Etymology: Middle English fryggen to wriggle
: COPULATE -- sometimes used in the present participle as a
meaningless intensive

"frige" isn't in the dictionary, unacceptible in Scrabble... frige is
not a word in the English language.
