FrE-type

English translation: FrE-type

Swedish term or phrase: FrE-type
A group of colleagues on a bus journey are playing a game where they have to think of artists or musicians beginning with each letter of the alphabet in turn.

Visserligen var det mesta dansband från Boääärläänge (obs! läses med gnälligt dalmål), men ändå så mycket bättre än mina försök att påstå att det finns en ”FrE-type".

Any explanation gratefully accepted, as I have no idea what an FrE-type refers to.

Explanation:
I'm not sure about this but there is a Swedish artist called E-type. It could be that he/she can't think of any artist starting with the letter F and tries to convince them that there is an artist called FrE-Type? Again, this is just a guess...

Thanks again - you really helped there.
This is a regular 'easy' job, but often not that 'easy' at all... and the deadline is always tight. My mind goes blank when I find somehting unexpected on a Friday :-)
