I should have remember the meatball thing from IKEA. Mmmmm, allen wrenches. And Thor, right? And Loki? Or is that another Norse thing? ;)

What's the Swedish word for weeaboo?

[chardmonster]

Probably Swedeaboo

[making_excuses]

IKEA FTW! Tor, Loke and Odin is a Norse (or Norrøn if you want the Norwegian word for it) thing (or Scandinavian thing), the allen wrenches I have no idea about.

Norway have given the world this:



And apparently some lingustics are now saying English comes from the scandinavian languages, so I could make an argument saying English is Norwegian.

Also VIKINGS! So we raped the British isles sheep and killed their men and took over York...

I dunno? I can't write Swedish, nor do I think anyone in the history of the universe have loved Swedish culture that much for it to warrant a word...

[asecretchord]

I've been to Stockholm once and I've read the Stieg Larsson books. I'm reading a Wallander novel now. That's as much Swedish as I've ever encountered, except for the funky fun stuff at IKEA.

I was in Oslo once as well. The Vigeland Statue Park was awesome!!

VIKINGS! The only people fiercer than the Scots. :)

[making_excuses]

I've never been to Stockholm actually... (I think, maybe when I was a kid.) To be honest you aren't missing out on anything. Swedes are an odd nationality...

Ohh! Oslo is slightly better (even if it is the most shitty city in Norway) oh Vigeland is cool, I haven't been there since I was a kid though. I did go to Oslo last weekend though, and basically hated every minute of it (minus the time I spent buying awesome stuff!)

*nods* all hail the Vikings!

now I'm wondering where you are from, with having been to at least two Scandinavian countries...

[asecretchord]

Southern California. :)

[making_excuses]

Oh cool! :)

[chardmonster]

Wait you went to Stockholm AFTER reading Steig Larsson books?

How many people offered you coffee between the repeated physical threats on your life and virtue

(Kidding)

[asecretchord]

No, I did it backwards. Too bad, or I would have looked for Lundesgatan or something dumb like that.

I've been to the UK about half a dozen or so times, though. I'm probably Anglophile-ish.

[fickletastictot]

Hey

I like those cheese shaver things. Even if I don't have one yet. (Gotta stop by Ikea to see if they have them. I go to the same one that the monkey went to.)

[making_excuses]

That is the cutest thing I have ever heard, are you maybe talking about a Cheese slicer?

They are awesome! And I always use it when I make bread with cheese, but then our cheese don't taste right if you cut it with a knife... (OMG! That is awesome!)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese_knife#Cheese_slicer

[fickletastictot]

Mmmm, cheese slicers. U^U~

Ugh I agree. I tried to use potato peeler to recreate those thin ribbons of cheese once and it turned out badly. :[ *scowls at consolatory pairing knife*

[making_excuses]

Oddly enough you can use a cheese slicer as a potato peeler...

[fickletastictot]

Regular potato peelers are just, idk, shaped wrong for shaving off cheese.

Ah, no matter. At least the grater is still my friend. Totes got it from Ikea.

[(Anonymous)]

I have one of those, and once I noticed that it had small print saying it was made in Norway! I didn't know that they were invented there, though.

Do they have a name? I never know what to call it. If I say "that thing you use to slice cheese" someone will probably ask me if I mean a knife.

[making_excuses]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese_knife#Cheese_slicer

I got like three of them... Then again I am Norwegian and we use them, a Norwegian kitchen wouldn't be complete without at least one cheese slicer...

Cheese Slicer is the name, Ostehøvel in Norwegian.

[(Anonymous)]

It's literally beyond my comprehension that someone wouldn't have one of these. I lived in a studio with three other people and we managed to have one of these in our kitchen.

So yeah, maybe there's a little bit of Scandinavian descent going on around here. *facepalm* Not me, but the general region...

[making_excuses]

I live alone... I still got more than one cheese slicer, you have to have one flat and one grated (is that the word?) and I also got one that belongs with my fancy serving stuff... (which I don't have a lot of mind you)

Or you guys just understand that using a cheese slicer is the superior way of cutting cheese?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh my god, I'm going to sound so obnoxious, not to mention off-topic, but...

And apparently some lingustics are now saying English comes from the scandinavian languages, so I could make an argument saying English is Norwegian.

no arrrrgh only one linguist said it and no one agrees with him.

http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=4351

why is it only the stupid, wrong linguistics that ever gets picked up on by the media. >:|

[making_excuses]

I'm going to sound obnoxious right back then... :)

More than one = some (though a couple would have been a better word): Faarlund and his colleague Joseph Emmonds, visiting professor from Palacký University in the Czech Republic

Also Anon dear, it was an joke so it wasn't like I was looking up the facts, or intended anyone to take me seriously.

[charming_stranger]

We don't have one. Apart from anglofil (Anglophile), maybe, and perhaps Japanfetischist (no guesses) - these are stylistically different from each other, by the way - but no all-purpose word.
