It was written....
My aunt and her family used to refer to the
refrigerator as the "icebox".
It made no difference to them that the iceman hadn't cometh for several
decades.
I suspect "icebox" is regional as well... it's in common
use here.
Do the Brits refer to an act of sabotage as
"throwing gas grips into the
works"?
No, they refer to it as "throwing a spanner into the works"
:)
