I thought frigorific was a term for a mixture of chemicals that stays at a constant temperature. Never heard of the other definition, interesting.

As a Latin tongue speaker, most of these (all the previous comics too!) are super common ways to call things in our languages (Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian). I find it rather curious seeing English speaking people finding these words bizarre (well except for the last one this time, that one i never saw before).

As an English speaker I can say a lot of these words are used, but it depends a lot on the speakers literacy level
