SO YOUR FUNDS MAY NEVER CLEAR AND REMAIN FROZEN.
There is no such thing as frozen coins, unless you are using a custodial third party. OP can replace his transaction with a higher fee paying transaction any time he likes.
You are right, there is nothing as frozen coins but philipma1957 is not totally wrong.
Hundreds of nodes connect and disconnect from the network everyday and as long as they have no track of dropped transactions or when a transaction has been created and broadcast, a transaction may remain unconfirmed for infinity.
"An unconfirmed transaction will drop from mempool after 2 weeks from being broadcast" is nothing but a falacity (someone corrects me if I'm wrong!)
