I thought fridging was where you kill an important female character in order to further the plot. Her death becomes the main male characters' motivation. So, if you murder a "random" woman character, that wouldn't be fridging, that'd just be cannon fodder.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, what this person is describing is the "Disposable Woman" trope: a one-dimensional woman whose only importance to the narrative is that she was important to the male hero and kick-starts a plot with her death.

Technically anyone, male or female can be fridged to motivate the hero, though it's usually female.

Other way around. Fridging is when the female character is unimportant in her own right, not treated as a person but as a plot point, only introduced so that her quick death can cause the male characters angst. It doesn't even have to be plot-important angst.

The term comes from when DC Comics did exactly that. Gave Green Lantern a girlfriend for the sole purpose of having a villain kill her off. (And, uh, leave her dead body in GL's fridge for him to find, thus the word.)
