Nack in the 1960s, Frostie was a popular brand of root beer. Guess the Ozzies never tried it.

Apparently it's still sold on Amazon and Walmart sites
And I was surprised to see the Oxford use the word shit so freely, although I'm not sure why that word is impolite here. It doesn't insult anyone, nor does it refer to an act the polite members of society refrain from.
"Frosted off". according to pre-D-Day literature I've encountered, was Brit clang meaning angered at lack of respect shown to one. And there's no such thing as whore frost, although the male meterologists at NOAA refer to hoarfrost.
I believe it is hoarfrost.

Welcome to the forum, Siimon. There are a bunch of wise and well-informed people here; few stop in that don't fit that description, so I imagine you'll fit right in. Of course, I am here as well, so there are no guarantee.Â
I suspect you're right about hoarfrost; the frostly look I would get from my wife when I flirted with an a lady down at the taproom ought to have a name, though.
Frostie root beer is apparently now available year-round. Not so three or four years ago when you could only get it for a short time in the summer and another short time around Christmas. I vividly remember getting pulled over by the cops late one New Year's Day when they saw me tip up a brown bottle to check the level at a stoplight (I wanted to know how close I was to needing to grab another beverage out of the cooler). They asked what I was drinking and I showed them, then turned the encounter into a commercial for the stuff, telling them they *might* still be able to find it at Cost Plus if they were lucky.
Tip up to check!!! Â Now that's creative. Â If it's other kinds of beverages, officer might laugh so hard he forgets everything.
