I particularly like "nature fag". It was definitely one of my favorite subjects in school.

[-] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 7 months ago

Taking a wild guess

fag, is related to german Fach, which means “branch, subject (especially used for school/academic subject)”

Wait doesn’t the english “faggot” also mean sticks? Perhaps thats linked to the “branch/subject” “Fach/Fag” in german/norweigen.

[-] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 7 months ago

Yep! That's exactly right.

[-] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 7 months ago

It's interesting to see the consonants follow a pattern like this. In swedish it's fack, with a harder k-sound, and many words are like this comparing germanic words.

Hold the speed signs are always a good laugh.

[-] Deestan@lemmy.world 30 points 7 months ago

Ah, the speed limit signs themselves also. This section is limited to 50 km/h, and this one is 60 km/h. Ok so far? The next one is simply marked "not 60" good luck.

Is that iust americans being used to arbitrary speed limits meaning signs EVERYWHERE?

Where I live, its 50 in towns, 100 outside of towns. Meaning there will only be signs when it's not the default for some reason, like a school zone, road work etc.

[-] Deestan@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Having worked in a multinational company and having to explain it to new hires, it's more than just americans. E.g.brits find it hilarious.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 7 months ago

here in sweden that would presumably mean the default 70km/h applies

70? It's 80 in Norway, unless it's in a village where it's 50

[-] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 7 months ago

We have this in Australia too. In built-up areas (think a town or city) the default limit is 50km/h, and outside of those it's 100km/h. You'll often have a speed limit of 80km/h as you head out of a small town on a country highway, and then an "End 80" sign to indicate you can drive the default 100km/h.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

Like the "end of 50er zone" sign if you leave a village?

If you want something done professionally you'll wanna find some fagfolk

ask them to pronounce the name of this ferry route

Ask them to pronounce the name of this ferry route.

[-] folekaule@lemmy.world 22 points 7 months ago

Just the way it's spelled, of course: Hurtigruten.

But American tourists call it hurdy gurden.

[-] Deestan@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

They will also hear it that way no matter how clearly it is pronounced.

[-] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 7 months ago

Is there another rut that isn't hurtig?

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 14 points 7 months ago

in england they smoke fags.
