    no ü or double-k in swedish. “Helvetesskållat” would be a direct translation, but i personally prefer the simpler “AJSOMFAN”

          Now I’m just imagining a table or something with deceptive appearances where it seems narrow, but the legs sit wider, so you’re prone to hitting your little toe, called “FFFUCKING OWWWuh!”, but in Swedish of course

            it would of course be called the “Lilltåkvarn”. pinkie toe grinder.

        now i’m trying to figure out what eesti/deutsch/svenska pidgin would sound like.

        the closest I’m getting is finland-danish.
