A statement relating to a speculatively unfeasible activity in Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, where Jones climbs into a fridge during a nuclear explosive test. It's also a synonym for "jumping the shark".
However, contrary to popular belief, nuking the fridge is feasible.
The fridge in the scene is lead-lined, so Jones is shielded from the initial burst of radiation. However, some have pointed out that the fridge is still in the radiated zone, so 20 years are off of his life, except they aren't. Remember, he drunk from the Grail, so the remainder of its power is dissipated when it shields him from radiation.
Normal Guy: Hey, you think the nuking the fridge is a feasible scene?
Responder: Nah, it can't be. How can he survive a nuclear blast from a fridge?
Intellectual: Actually it is. The fridge is a) lead-lined and b) sturdily built. So yeah, it is feasible!
Responder: Then what about the radiation? How's he not losing 20 years off his life?
Intellectual: Quite simply. He drank from the grail, remember? The power he gained from that dissipated protecting him from it.
Normal Guy: Huh. Never knew it was.
Throwing a microwave at a fridge as hard as one can.

An episode of distractible about Bob getting a new fridge and the horror story about its delivery
Have you listened to bob's fridge, it's great!
The act of checking something over and over again when deep down inside you know the outcome will never change. Similarly to opening the fridge over and over again when you realize that no matter how many times you do so it's going to be just as empty as it was beforehand. Regardless you continue to do so anyway through wishful thinking.
Checking your phone over and over again after days of being left on delivered is exemplified through this term. No matter how many times you open your phone, you know deep down that you're not going to hear back anytime soon but you can't help yourself from checking in hopes that maybe you're wrong. Many other situations can be applied to "Opening the Fridge '' such as misplacing something and continuously checking the same spot or looking for someone when you know they aren't around.
Thomas: I cant find my cellphone
Lucas: Well where did you last have it?
Thomas: By my desk..
Lucas: Did you check the drawer?
Thomas: Yeah like a thousand times.
Lucas: Then why are you walking over to it and checking again? Also that drawer is very clearly empty...,
Thomas: Maybe I'm just looking on the wrong side...
Lucas: At this point you're just Opening the Fridge
Thomas: Found it! It was under the desk!
Lucas: Oh Good
Thomas: Dang she still hasn't replied...
Lucas: What did I just say.....
When your refrigerator is so stinky and filthy it's better to just throw it away rather than clean it.
