I suppose I ought to introduce my two workers here at this miserable stand...This is Grepa and her big sister, Kelpsy. Grepa serves me as a customer-attracter and serving girl. She does all the heavy lifting for me. Kelpsy, on the other hand, is my security. She's in charge of keeping the ruffians away from my stand, and beating some sense into the customers who think they can get lower prices by being cute. While they are, in fact, open for any inquiries you might have, they do have work to do. Please don't keep them preoccupied for long.

Word/phrase of the week: Grepa

Hei alle sammen! I've been a bit overwhelmed lately in my own life, but I thought I'd take this opportunity to revive the "word of the week" and this week it's grepa. This word was suggested to me by my Norwegian friend, Tommy. According to him, grepa is an older word not known by many foreigners, meaning something like, "­a good deed or human" or an adjective to describe someone of admirable character.

An example he gave me: Han var en grepa kar, or "He was a very nice guy."

However, I also looked up the word on the Norwegian Wikipedia and it also seems to mean "stove" in English. Thinking about it now, I can understand how it can be used adjectively in the example above, maybe substituting the meaning with "warm".

I can only recall seeing the word once or twice since learning Norwegian, but I never knew what it meant. Needless to say, this will not be the last time this happens.
