In Norwegian, 'trailer' means semi truck and 'truck' means forklift. If you add 'food' in front of 'truck', it means food trailer. #NorwayFacts

Normal Norwegian alcohol, children, and football discourse:
Drinking even a single unit of alcohol in front of children under the age of 24 is tantamount to child abuse, and no alcohol in the stadiums because 😇sports and alcohol don't mix😇

Norwegian alcohol, children, and football discourse when the men's national team has reached the world cup:
It's perfectly fine for 8-year-olds to watch the football down the pub, that should still be serving up the booze, at 5 a.m., actually. #NorwayFacts

In Norway, probably the only country in the world with a national propaganda office dedicated to promoting eating fish, about 40% of people will react with a shocked "what, you don't even eat fish?!" when you inform them you're vegetarian/vegan. #NorwayFacts

"Tourists followed the satnav, got stuck some way down the groomed cross-country ski tracks" has become one of the winter staples of Norwegian tourism news. #NorwayFacts

Norwegian borrowed the word "truck" from English and spent it on the forklift. #NorwayFacts

It's Oktoberfest season in Norway, when every town of note puts up a huge tent in the central town square where the olds can get shit faced on beer served in special Oktoberfest mugs while dressed in their sexy "Bavarian" costumes. The season starts the first weekend of October and lasts all the way up to Halloween, a dress-up holiday much loathed by the olds for being "imported". #NorwayFacts

Octopus? Gtfo with your fancy Latin. In Norwegian, the language of love, they're called eight-armed ink squirts. #NorwayFacts

It's so warm today in the Oslo area I've seen several Norwegians deliberately seeking shade outside the bars and restaurants. This is very rare behavior from a people my wife once described as reverse cockroaches. #NorwayFacts
