More Swedish Words that Look Like English Words
As mentioned in an earlier post, there are a lot of Swedish words that look like English words but mean something entirely different.
A few more examples:
Gift = Poison
Suck = Sigh
Full = Drunk
Kiss = Pee
Fart = Speed (There are all kinds of variations on this one.
Ex: 'Utfart' is 'Entrance')
Slut = End
Visa = View
Rape = Burp
Pick = Dick (Peter enjoyed the many unintentional word plays
when he was at guitar camp in Tennessee)
In other silly news, Peter and I were in the grocery store and I saw a flavor of ice cream called "Wiener Nougat". When I said the name in amazement to Peter, he just sort of looked at me like "What, does it look different from the Wiener Nougat ice cream in your country?" It turns out that 'Wiener' refers to being of Viennese origin and that Wiener Nougat is a sort of hazelnut cream. Silly me.
