Note
One spelling carries several verbs. In the kitchen it informally means chilled in a refrigerator: the dough was fridged overnight. In slang about storytelling it means a character killed or sidelined, usually a woman, to spur another character's revenge, and it sits naturally in the passive (she was fridged in the opening chapter). The same form also covers an archaic British dialect verb for chafing and an obsolete one meaning to fidget.
