This isn't all that regional -- the 1970's radio hit "Convoy" mentioned a "Cab-over Pete with a reefer on, and a Jimmy hauling hogs." (a Peterbuilt with a refrigerator unit and a GMC hauling livestock.)I must admit though, that it's pretty embarassing that I can remember that....
Nuh~ah!!! Reefah... hehehe NOT a fridge. You may appreciate a fridge after some Reefah :)My Boston accent is wicked thick. I sound so fake when I try to pronounce my Ah's. lol R's. Boston culture totally rocks!Peace out! C'ya lata! :)
I certainly know "fridge" but this can be used in British English as well. Most common in my family was the "ice box". We actually HAD an ice box in the proper sense "up country".
Yah, DEFINATELY NOT a 'fridge!!!Not in my family. Not in my town (from down th' Cape) and Not in my lifetime.Mos def hit some reefuh, then check out what's in th' 'fridge!!!Then move on out to the kegga up the street!!!Take off to the Pahty in the Woods, then book it from the cops.Great Memories, Great Moments!!Hava Good One!

My dad (from Lexington) says this and my brother and I tease him unmercifully about it. I think you've got to be over 40 (at least) to have this in your lexicon. No one my age from around here says it.

My dad (from Lexington) says this and my brother and I tease him constantly about it. I think you've got to be over a certain age (40?) to have this in your lexicon. To younger people, it means pot.
im from lexingtonnot a big place at all for boston accents buti have never heard reefer referring to anything but marijuanadont come to lexington!its too much drugs!
Reefah is pot or marijuana, definitely not a refridgerator, that's the fridge. I grew up in Ahlington and Summaville and everyone got wikid good reefah from the rich kids in Lexington.

re: Reefah

re: Reefah
My dad calls a fridge a reefah. He's from West Springfield.
re: Reefah
ck:haha true that
re: Reefah
A "reefah" is a joint (pot). "fridgidair" is what my grammy says. Mostly we just say "fridge".

re: Reefah
I agree, not a refrigerator. I am assuming people still refer to pot in this manner, but am not certain.
re: Reefah
I first heard "reefer" in this sense from my Indiana girlfriend back in the 70's.
