Amusing linguistic oddity of the day

When certain Americans use "frig" as the abbreviation for "refrigerator".

Yes, I'm juvenile; it totally cracks me up. Still.

Sorry about that. We so seldom use the word "lass" here, or its derivations. Actually, I can't remember the last time I used it. But I am quite good with words like "meter" and "color" and I do pronounce words like "Thames" and "Iraq" properly. :-P
