This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

bih that's a onion
Here is another mildy interesting fact, in Swedish we group onions and garlic together by using the word "lök" with a color and different spacing to differentiate them:
"lök" - onion
"gul lök" - onion or yellow onion
"rödlök" - red onion
"vitlök" - garlic
We never talk about "vit lök", it doesn't really exist as a concept in Swedish, but we have more types of "lök"...
"gräslök" directly translates to "grass onion", but the proper translation is "chives"
"prujolök" is the Swedish name for "leek"
rödlök*
Tack, gjorde kommentaren när jag var väligt trött
Du lukter skitgott, but not when you're eating vitlök, broder. (This is the extent of my swedish)
Allmost...
lukter is incorrect, it is luktar instead.
The other Swedish words are correct, even if we seldom use "skitgott", unless you are 5-10 years old or so.
The normal word is "jättegott"
I screw it up because I use it in both Norwegian and swedish. It's du lukter dritgodt in Norwegian. I generally forget how to properly spell "drag it to hell" between the two. And in my heart I'm 5-10.
as a västgöte i take deep offense to this, it's perfectly normal to say something is sketagôtt
Meh, I said that we seldom use it, not that we never do.
