It is a PostgreSQL specific reserved word, see
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/sql-keywords-appendix.html
However, it is possible to use it quoted:
postgres=# create table freeze (foo int);
ERROR: syntax error at or near "freeze" at character 14
LINE 1: create table freeze (foo int); ^
postgres=# create table "freeze" (foo int);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# select * from "freeze";foo
-----
(0 rows)
postgres=# DROP TABLE "freeze" ;
DROP TABLE
