Somewhat to majorly non-sensical, logical, or funny Swedish words
... soppatorsk... (literally meaning 'soup-cod', cod like the fish cod). The meaning is: when you run out of gasoline while driving a car or boat.
...slå en sjua... (literally meaning 'dial a seven'). This is the same for a man as in 'go and pee'. I have never heard a woman say it.
...skitstövel.... (literally meaning a 'boot filled with shit') . Used about a person who is doing something really mean.
And then there are words that make sense but are kind of funny in their fantastic logical construction:
...slickepott... (literally meaning 'lick-the-pot'). Used for a silicon or rubber spatula used in the kitchen to scrape out the last of the dough from a bowl.
...svartsjuk... (literally meaning 'black-sick'). This means envy or envious. Can't you see a person becoming black in his or her face of envy?
....grönsaker.... (literally meaning 'green things'. This is of course vegetables, what else could it have been?
Enjoy!
