Today I learned that the Swedish word gurksnutt is not only the nickname for my friend's baby, but also the old nickname for
these cars. "Gurksnutt" can best be translate as 'the end piece of a cucumber'. With some imagination, I agree that the racing Saab's could be seen as little pickles flying by.
I've so enjoyed reading through your blog today.. my new favorite place that I never heard of until this week is - the Faroe Islands.
ReplyDeleteI think my ancestors are from there.
