FSM items "officially" translated into other langu

What's the Swedish for 'smukke pige, jeg elsker de'? That would have more impact than hat-sizes. Bart could then try a Swedish version of 'Skal vi knalde for penge? Nej, for sympathie?'
Always worked for me.

I am from 'Penge'?

I can't see how that's going to impress anybody, let alone the gorgeous and intelligent Isabelle.

That would be "Vackra flicka, jag älskar dig". (Beautiful girl, I love you).

Using the word "Pige" might get him slapped, since "Piga" means "Female servant/worker". Just as the danish word for boy, "Dreng" is the Swedish word for male servant/worker (Dräng).

The other one is "Ska vi knulla för pengar? Nej, för sympati". I don't recommend that one for impressing any girl, but maybe David has other experiences

If Bart doesn't want to talk about eggplants, I would suggest he starts with "Hej". Other useful sentences:

Vad heter du? = What's your name?
Vad jobbar du med? = What do you work with?
Vill du ha en till drink? = Do you wan't another drink? (She's Swedish, ofc she'll want another drink, but its polite to ask)
Har du hört talas om det Flygande Spaghettimonstret? = Have you heard about the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
Jag har ett träben = I have a wooden leg
Jag älskar dig = I love you.

Basic words, for the few that doesn't know a word of Swedish:
I = Jag
You = Du (One person) Ni (Several people)
Beer = Öl
Swede = Svensk
Swedish lady/Swedish (language) = Svenska

The longest language lesson yet. Study hard

Thanks for the extremely useful Swedish phrases Bug.

We were all 13 years old, spotty and bespectacled once...and some of us were ginger! No chance.

A gentleman never tells.

Mind you, when I was a young lad you could generally get your way with a Danish girl if you gave her a fill of good strong tobacco for her pipe.


It is tempting to draw etymological conclusions about the word 'shag' from this.

Then, in interest of full etymological disclosure: google translate told me one of the possible translations for "shag" was "ragg" which also means...

Someone you've picked up

[daftbeaker]

Our unmitigated genius of a geography teacher said "Did you know that Swedish people lace their shoes up the other way round? They tie the knot down at the bottom, nearest the toes..." He said this with a straight face. We could not believe that our classmate was going to fall for it, but he did.

I need to remember that one, it could come in useful

In hebrew (with english pronunciation)

Pastafarianism - פסטפראניזם (Pastafarianism)
His Noodliness - הוד נודלייתו (Hod Noodlyato)
His Noodly Appendage - גפתו המדלדלת (Gapato Hamidaldelet)**
Stripper Factory - מפעל הסטריפריות (Mifal Hastriperiot)
Pirate - פיראט (Perat)

** this is not a direct tranlsation but a translation based on meaning. "Midaldelet" is in hebrew for wagaling (female form) like a a noddle is waggling around so it's more accureate to say in hebrew that then use the name of our lord and saver)

Thanks for that, shagy.
