To get a date range representing the third Friday of each month, what frequency string should be used?
Explanation
Pandas provides the 'WOM' (Week of Month) frequency code for complex date generation. 'WOM-3FRI' combines the base 'WOM' code with a week number (3) and a day name (FRI) to specify the third Friday of each month.
