"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.

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

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. |
