And "frig" could conceivably be short for "frigid". I think you're onto something here.

Its a friggen fridge isn't it?

Answer 14

Yeah, I knew that in the 4th grade.  

Knowing that doesn't stop me from misspelling "refrigerator" unless there is a spell-check module.

I just can't figure what the hubbub is about.

Answer 15

Yes, it's spelled differently because it's just a nickname.
