@mastodonmigration New #EngelskeGloser we call it "blautsnΓΈ" where I'm from. Describes current conditions in most of Norway at the moment. My skis have not been used this winter πŸ˜ͺ , need to fix my gear, get new boots and bindings. Maybe skis ?

#EngelkeGloser

blautsnΓΈ = slop

I just happened upon a reddit-thread that had been *archived*. What a bizarre concept! Half the fun of the #Fedi is having stuff from long ago re-surface. It was this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/QCl7nKVmVT, to which I wanted to add #EngelskeGloser

I wonder if these Nazi fucks realize what’s taking them out is called black ice.

In a departure from my customary #EngelskeGloser, I will today present part of our #NorwegianGlossary, recently named winner of 2025 "nyord i norsk" (New words in Norwegian) by The Language Council of Norway. And the winner is ... πŸ₯ πŸ“―
#TekOligark !
Yay !
The word might not become daily language among most Norwegians, but we believe it will be with us for a long time, according to a spokesperson for the council.

@eivind Also, there is a new word for me: Corned meat refers to the salt-crystals you will find in a saturated brine solution.
Addition to my #EngelskeGloser , yay :)

Litt #EngelskeGloser i dag. Det er en artig sammenheng mellom engelsk og norsk i det engelske "prone" , som i "Reply guys are middle-aged men who are *prone* to uninvited pontification" = "reply-gubber er middelaldrende menn med *tilbΓΈyelighet* til ubedt Γ₯ holde preken."

Politicians Aren’t Cool Enough to Curse This Much

Political leaders once watched their language. Now they delight in using obscenity.
