There are so many words that sound like they come straight from the Scandinavian languages. Even though they are spelled different, the pronunciation gives it away. This is the viking heritage.

I worked at a pub in London when Song 2 by Blur was out. I totally related to his story. If you were on the floor collecting pint glasses and that song came on, you had about 20-30 seconds before everything went wild and you had better not be on the floor with the glasses. Same thing with Tubthumping.

I’m in the States and when I listen to entertainment from anywhere across the pond I hear the term “furry liquid.” I’ve sort of deduced it’s dish soap, but when I heard it here with him translating I thought, “Awesome I can have it confirmed.” Then he just said, “Pretty self explanatory.” 🤦♀️
