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.

AFAIK most all "US" cars exported to Australia years ago were right - hand
drive models built by Canadian subsidiaries of US automakers (Pontiac,
Chevrolet, etc.). This was done because Canada was a fellow Commonwealth
country and the duties on imported Canadian vehicles were consequently lower
than if they were imported directly into Oz from the USA...these Canadian
subisidaries similarly produced US models for export to the UK, too.

Of course at one time Ford and Chrysler were big players in the Oz motor
markets, e.g. Oz - made versions of Ford Falcons and Chrysler (Plymouth)
Valiants were best - sellers in the 60's - 70's...

Chrysler some produced some odd - looking (to us Yanks) "hybrid" models for
the Oz market in the late 50's. They'd use c. 1954 US Plymouth body shells
with '56 - ish Dodge or Plymouth front ends and wierd tailfins on the back,
these were called "Chrysler Royal", etc....similar models were also produced
for the European - Scandinavian markets, all knock - down kit cars.

There were some fairly interesting Chevrolet, etc. utes made by GM - Holden
and others back in the day, too...

Recently a Holden model was built and shipped to the US and sold as the
Pontiac GTO. It was a fairly ordinary sedan, didn't fare too well in the
market. That's the only Oz car ever "exported" to the US AFAIK...

In the begining Frigidaire's biggest selling point was it's
introducing/inventing the shelves on the door. That is what made them a
leader in the development of fridges...

Somewhat like skill saw and circular saw or kleenex and facial tissue.
Their market share also affected North American English.

Many years ago, Frigidaire was owned by General Motors. They made some of
the best appliances. The division was sold, consolidated, re-sold a few
more times. Over the past years it was known as : White-Westinghouse, WCI,
and a couple of others At last check, they were owned by Electrolux. That
was over a week ago so it may have changed again. The Frigidaire plants
produce a lot of other brand names, like Gibson, Tappan, White-Westinghouse,
Philco, maybe more. They chose to use the Frigidaire name because of brand
recognition. They no longer make the quality of the past, IMO.

What moroons, long before Frigidaire there was Latin... "Latin
frigidus, from frigere to be cold; akin to Latin frigus frost"

No ice storm worries, but there was a large power outtage
a few nights back, unrelated, that might have made the

You're confusing the preposition Re with the prefix Re. The preposition
does indeed mean in regard to, however in this case it is the prefix Re
which means (among other things) again, in words such as rewrite and
reread.

Refrigerate doesn't mean *regarding cold*, it means *to make cold again*
or more commonly *to make cold*.

Both are from Latin so I can understand how you have been confused.

Nope, "to make cold again" would be *re-refrigerate*, you functionally
illiterate low IQ *******.

Geeze, some of yoose are dumber than a Chinaman in a cheese factory.

A lot of folks can't seem to recall it is spelled congratulations
instead of congradulations. And too many people think "alot" is one word.
