Well, “fridge” is short for “refrigerator”. Whoever came up with the spelling for “fridge” probably pronounced the “frige” part of “refrigerator” with a “d”.

So let's all start saying refriderator instead of refrigerator.

Refridgerator!

No we can spell it like that but now we have to pronounce it "re-frid-er-a-tor"

commented Jul 30, 2022 by EloquentRacer92 (965k points)

What about “re-frid-ge-ray-ter”?
