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.

At first I thought this was nonsense, but I can see the point: If one assumes the pronunciation of "Frigidaire" for the abridged version [nominally "Frig"] then it would have to be spelt "fridge". Incidentally, I hadn't realised that Frigidaire developed the original self-contained refrigerators. The brand name seemed to come later than others here in Oz as far as I recall. But that may be a consequence of our old "Commonwealth trade preferences" whereby damn nearly everything (except decent cars) came from Pommieland for the first half century or more of "Australia". I can still recall my surprise at age 12 or 13 when reading that something like 50% of the world's economy was based in the USA at that time -- and about the only US products we saw here then were motor vehicles. Cheers, Phred. -- LID |

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... -- Best Greg |

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" Sheldon |

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. |
