deep freeze
Suspended animation state
A deep freeze is a freezer, especially a large chest-style unit for long-term storage of frozen goods.
Figuratively, a deep freeze is a state of suspended activity or chilled relations: Negotiations went into a deep freeze, Our friendship has been in the deep freeze since the argument.
To deep-freeze something is to store it at very low temperatures or to put it on indefinite hold.
