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....

A "reefah" is a joint (pot). "fridgidair" is what my grammy says. Mostly we just say "fridge".

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".

My dad (from Lexington) says this. My brother and I tease him unmercifully for it. I think you've got to be over 40 at least to say this one.

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.

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.

I agree, not a refrigerator. I am assuming people still refer to pot in this manner, but am not certain.

I first heard "reefer" in this sense from my Indiana girlfriend back in the 70's.
