Fridge/Frig/what in US? HELP! QUICK!
 

I made some ceramic refridgerator magnets to sell as a fundraiser for the pool on Opening Day (tomorrow). We Brits would spell the abbreviation "fridge" but I see "frig" a lot over here (which is sort of a swear word in britenglish). So what abbreviation should I use?

Fridge is fine. frig means something else here too, but there are unlikely to be misunderstandings in context

thanks :) It's weird that in the land of fast everything, refridgerator is abbreviated less often than in the UK. NO-ONE says refridgerator there. I bet most British children don't even know fridge is an abbreviation.

Whoever says frig is an abbreviation for fridge is out of their fridging mind.

What the frig?

fridge fo sho

thanks all, you make me happy.

just out of curiosity, what exactly is y'alls' understanding of the word, "frig?" To me, it means, um . . . digital penetration of the vagina.

A quick perusal of ze Internets shows other definitions: masturbation (not exactly what my meaning is); or some kind of bowlderization of "fuck,"

when I was a kid I learned it meant bugger (as in male to male anal sex), but in UK when I left, was most commonly used as a "polite" alternative for "fuck": "what in the frigging hell was that?"

huh. that's interesting; I would say it doesn't apply to male anatomy at all

Fridge is short American for refrigerator. Or icebox.

Frig is Freya's brother, right?

Could Frig frig Freya's icebox?

Guardian Frigerator Company developed the first stand alone refrigerator in the US in 1916 and became Frigidaire in 1919 and a part of General Motors at that time until they sold in it in 1979.

Up until that time most refrigeration was accomplished with iceboxes.

Many people still call any refrigerator a Fridge and really have no idea why they do nor where the name came from..
Kinda like Kleenex, Kotex, Big Tex etc.:D

Thank you Mr Peabody......

I contest that, because "fridge" is a logical shortening of refrigerator. I still call it the icebox sometimes, 'cause that's what my parents called it often. But I'm most likely to simply call it the refrigerator. Said really fast!

I mostly agree ... but where does the D come from?
