"Bagsy" - Calling "bagsy" is the equivalent of calling "shotgun" or "dibs" when something, like the front seat of the car, is offered up to a group.

Same in the UK but also used in the term I referred to above.

"Bender" - Someone on a spree of excessive drinking and mischief is "on a bender."

I remembered a silly german proverb like

"Der hat Tomaten auf den Augen"
literally "He has tomatoes on his eyes"

Meaning he is dumb, or intentionally blind

Von Due 12-10-20 03:42 PM

Ta Det Piano - Take it piano! - Calm down!
Fullstendig Texas - Completely Texas - Completely and utterly chaotic and crazy
Bite I Det Sure Eplet -Bite The Sour Apple - Resign, give up
Det Er Ugler I Mosen - There Are Owls In The Moss - Something suspicious/sinister is going down

The last one is absurd even in Norwegian, but its origins are in the Danish Der Er Uller I Mosen - There Are Wolves In The Marsh/bog which does sound a tad more ominous.
