gå og heng deg... Explanation: I think it's a general assumption that this forum should be used in a useful and dignified manner. Questions like this are neither. The suggested term reflects thje source up to the comma, while the remainder is something no Norwegian would ever say. It suggests a lady of the night having an incestuous relationship with her mother, which is a private matter to anyone who speaks Norwegian. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2004-08-13 16:13:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- There\'s a bug afoot - I \'swear\' I only submitted once.

Gå og heng deg, din jævla hore Explanation: Norwegian does not "allow" an expression like "mother fucking." However, we prefer to use references to the devil where other cultures would find that more offensive. It is important to use "culturally relevant" swear words, so as not to sound much more offensive than what's intended. |
