Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

In Swedish there is

" be on the cinnamon", to be drunk
"Put the legs on your back", to run
"You are out biking", you are missing the point
"Pay[back] for old cheese", to get revenge
" bear-favour", is a favour that gives bad results
"Now you'll see other buns", things will get rough
" there are no children being made here", nothing is happening/its boring/lets go
"Satan and his aunt", all kinds of people/everyone
"Good day, axe-handle", something like saying "yeah, you dumbfuck" after getting a nonsense repley from someone
"In only the brass", to be naked
"Show where the cupboard will stand", to firmly make a decision
"You cupboard", miss the point, being stupid
" shit in the blue cupboard", to make a mistake
Edit: forgot a good one:
"Get your thumb out of your ass", to stop doing nothing and start doing something
Forgot: "Fastnat med skägget i brevlådan" Literal meaning being: "Stuck with your beard in the mailbox" which is basically saying you've fucked up and are getting caught in the act
