Old Norse Words in English. Without the Vikings, English would be missing some awesome words like berserk, ugly, muck, skull, knife, die, and cake!
ooh this is interesting. I recognised some of these but there’s lots I didn’t know.

The Appian Way was one of the earliest and strategically most important Roman roads of the ancient republic. It connected Rome to Brindisi, Apulia, in southeast Italy.
The road is named after Appius Claudius Caecus, the Roman censor who began and completed the first section as a military road to the south in 312 BC

When you try explaining to a freshly arrived immigrant how winters in Sweden are
Eleven Italian Expressions that will make you emphatically spit your espresso:
1) To take somebody by the ass.
To take someone by the ass or ‘’prendere per il culo’’ means making a fool of someone, joking or even conning somebody.
Usage Examples:
– So you don’t really own a boa constrictor?
– LOL. No, we’ve been taking you by the ass the whole time!
– Haha!
or
– The commercial says I’m gonna lose 20 Kg in two weeks!
– That must be a take by the ass, there’s no way something like that is doable
or
– I was out visiting my friend Micheal – Really? Too bad that I’ve met Micheal and you were not with him! Do you really think you can take me by the ass like that?!
2) To break somebody’s balls.
To break somebody’s balls or ‘’rompere le palle’’ means being annoying/unbearable/insufferable or even harass somebody else. A reflexive variation of this expression also exists (To break your own balls or Rompersi le palle), which means being fed up with a person or a situation.
Usage Examples: – Leaving the conference already? – Oh man, I’m really breaking my balls here… Or – Sandra, wait! – No! Your disrespect and rudeness really broke my balls! Or – How’s it going with Jay? – Well. He’s kind of a ballbreaker sometimes, but I love him
3) With counterdicks.
Attributing counterdicks or ‘’controcazzi’’ to something means finding it outstanding, especially good or powerful.
Usage Examples: – What did you think of Terminator? – Amazing! It’s really a movie with counterdicks! Or – This year St. Vincent released a record with counterdicks!
4) Being dead by pussy.
Being dead by pussy or ‘’essere morto’’ di figa means not having had sex with a woman for a very long time.
Usage Examples: – Why is Roberto acting like that with absolutely any girl at the party? – ‘Cause he’s dead by pussy, clearly!
5) To have ass.
To have ass or Avere culo means having luck.
Usage Examples:
– The car flipped three times but I ended up being completely fine.
– Wow. You had ass, man. Or – OMG! I won 500.000 Euros at the lottery! – What an ass!! Or – If you have ass the professor won’t ask you that super complicated last chapter.
6) To stand on someone’s dick.
To stand on someone’s dick or ‘’stare sul cazzo a qualcuno’’ means being disliked by someone or getting on someone’s nerves.
Usage Examples: – Do you know Gennaro? – Oh, yeah, we used to sit next to each other at school and he really stood on my dick. Or – You really stand on my dick when you’re rude to my mother
7) To make someone’s ass.
To make someone’s ass or ‘’fare il culo a qualcuno’’ means beating up somebody, literally or figuratively.
Usage Examples:
– Did you just call me a bitch? Do it again and I’ll make your ass, I swear
Or
– I can’t believe Giorgio is not here. If he’s more than 30 minutes late I’m going to make his ass!
8) To be a wooden pussy.
To be a wooden pussy or Essere una figa di legno means being a whiny or uptight girl.
Usage Examples: – I wanted to take Lucia camping this weekend but apparently she’s scared of insects – What a wooden pussy!
9) There are no dicks.
There are no dicks or ‘’non ci sono cazzi’’ means that something is certain, agreed on, set in stone.
Usage Examples: – But what if it rains? -There are no dicks! We’re going to the lighthouse no matter what!
10) To make somebody’s dicks.
To make somebody’s dicks or ‘’farsi i cazzi di qualcuno’’ means sticking your nose into someone’s private life, minding someone else’s business.
Usage Examples: – Linda is such a gossip girl! She’s constantly making everyone else’s dicks! Or – What do you know about the new neighbours? – Not much, I’m not a nosey person. I usually make my own dicks…
11) To pee outside.
To pee outside or ‘’pisciare fuori’’ means being wrong or out of line about something.
Usage Examples: – What? You’re taking her side now?! – I’m sorry, but you left me no choice. This time you really peed outside.

I’m uncomfortable at how rude my language can be lol. But some of these are only regional and I wouldn’t have understood them without an explanation.
3 and 4 are more common in certain places I suppose but I still know/get them.
9 and 11 make absolutely no sense to me and I’ve never heard them either, not even in films, ever. So I guess they’re just regional expressions.
I just love my language so much for this ♡ @shympathy those are fondamental expressions to learn!

Have you ever heard of Aida Hadzialic? You should have, because she has set a model for young Muslims in the Western world. Aida fled for war in Bosnia and Herzegovina when she was five years old. She and her family fled to Sweden 22 years ago. (Read more about Aida Hadzialic)

From Norway Then and Now: Tilbakeblikk, one of 18 photos. An animation showing Hammerfest, Finnmark in 1889, then again in 2004. Hammerfest was a fishing community and a market town with the best ice-free harbor in these northerly waters. During the German retreat in February 1945, the entire town was burned down. The town is still characterized by houses rebuilt in the 1950s. (CC BY-NC-ND Axel Lindahl / Oskar Puschmann / Tilbakeblikk)
