- 2014, Gregers Dirkinck-Holmfeld, Frejlif: Ekstra Bladets udtæmmelige redaktør, Politikens Forlag, →ISBN:
- Men Frejlif nævner en enkelt af sine egne anmeldelser, hvor han “fornærmede den mest fremragende af teatrets skuespillere, en ældre frikadelle, der ikke var sen til at hævne sig.”
- But Frejlif mentions one of his own reviews, in which he “insulted the most brilliant of the theatre's actors, an elderly ham, who was not late to take revenge.”
- 1896, Otto Jespersen, Kristoffer Nyrop, Dania:
- Hvis nogen ved ukunstneriske Midler bejler til Galleriets Bifald, bliver han en Galleriskuespiller; er han simpel og har en daarlig Udtale, men alligevel gør nogen Lykke, kaldes han, som Skuespiller for den tarvelige Borgerklasse, en Frikadelleskuespiller eller forkortet alene en Frikadelle.
- If anyone woos the applause of the gallery by unartistic means, he becomes a gallery-actor; if he is simple and has poor enunciation, but still has some success, he is called, as actor for the mean citizenry, a ham-actor or, abbreviated, simply a ham.
