No, you're thinking of thawed.

Fraud is a type of long robe or gown

I believe you mean thawb. A fraud is a term for a deep geological formation filled with water, in Scandinavia.

That's a fjord. A fraud is a unit of electrical capacitance.

That's farad. Fraud is the short jerk from the Shrek movies

No, that was Farquaad. A fraud is when you have a lot of people together in one place.

Hmm, pretty sure that's a farad. A fraud is what you call the leaves of any sort of palm tree.

That’s a frond. A fraud is how you gauge if you can pay for something with your money on hand and/or expected income.
