"Alley Cat", also known as "Alleycat" and "The Alley Cat," is a popular instrumental song made most famous by the #Danish pianist and composer #BentFabric, released in 1962. Fabric (born Bent Fabricius-Bjerre) wrote the tune under the pseudonym Frank Björn.

"Fuck" is interesting in #Danish, as it's the most common swearing and (post-1945) borrowing among young people. The Language Council has some cases dating "fucker" as a noun to 1971.

Morphologically, it behaves non-Danish, since the nominalizing -ing suffix is an allomorph of -ning that only occurs after /l/, /n/ or /l/; after /k/, you get -ning, such as in "tænkning" (thinking).

Sorry to all syntacticians, but my article just came out: "Fuck syntax and fucking syntax in the borrowing of swearwords for assessments in Danish" - the reviewers did not comment on the title!

It lets you know about what "fuck" and "fucking" is used for in interaction, and how they are distributed across different syntactic constructions and how those are used for different kinds of assessments, sequentially speaking.

Two years later here's the next #danishdesign.

The KEVI office chair. The most comfortable workshop chair I've ever encountered. Absolutely perfect.

KEVI is a family of chairs with the 1960s ones having four legs, and the newer ones five. There's many types of upholstery.

These are commonly seen in offices and workshops. I don't understand why they're not more common outside DK.

Mine is an older one picked up today. Edit: it received some TLC and is now in my hobby room!

The area and coastline between Agger and Hanstholm in Thy in North Jutland has been named Cold Hawaii. Cold Hawaii achieved its name due to the wind conditions in the area are much like the one you will find in Hawaii 🙂 !

Honestly… what hard hearted soulless moron would go for this? As if being an unwanted, unloved pet isn’t bad enough.
May I suggest:
A.) Not keeping a lynx in a zoo.
B.) Giving unwanted pets to the thousands of people that want them.

Hey @cryptohagen and other #danish #privacy people. I need help!

My phone is on its last legs and I'm trying to decide on what to do with regards to getting a new one. It seems that a lot of things like banking apps, MitID, MobilePay etc doesn't work on custom ROMS like #CalyxOS #GrapheneOS and #e_OS

What do you recommend to stay private and secure while still owning a smartphone in #Denmark in 2025?

Is it just a matter of banking on a computer, using a hardware token for MitID and forgetting about MobilePay (probably good advice in general I know) altogether?

I was about to make a point about stress distribution in initialisms in #Danish - that with 3 or more letters, stress is on the last syllable - but that ADHD is an except, having stress on the second-last syllable (the H). But then I checked one dictionary that lists only one pronunciation, with stress on last syllable. So now I'm listening to podcasts to confirm my impression that the dictionary is wrong.
