Signification
To confirm or set something in stone.
Contexte culturel
Swedes value 'framförhållning' (planning ahead). Spiking a plan weeks in advance is common and appreciated. In flat hierarchies, 'spika fast' is used by anyone to move from discussion to action, not just the boss. Younger generations often shorten it to just 'spika', which can also mean to get 100% on a test (to 'nail' the exam).
