Where this word comes from
Attested since 1979, coined by Lennart Holm, the General Director for the National Board of Physical Planning and Building (Planverket), a blend of Friggebo + bod (“shed, shack”), the former being the last name of Birgit Friggebo, the Minister for Housing at the time. The friggebod reform implied that anyone could build a shed of maximum 10 square meters on their premises without obtaining a construction permit from the municipality. From the onset of 2008, the area was increased to 15 square meters.
