It never stops being weird that people think the IKEA names are just basically swedish chef speak (which doesn't sound like swedish at all).

Vingklippt is good :). Maybe also... ANDRUM or SKAMVRÅ?

Fågelbehållare i guess? Idk my swedish isnt very good and i just use behållare usually cause its a very general word. Also people outside the nordics love å so its a win to use it in an ikea meme. Väska could also work for more variety? Fågelväska

As somewhat of a polyglot, it just occurred to me that swedish is a language I've never once considered as a language I know absolutely nothing about nor have ever considered studying.

Ehh its not that interesting grammar wise. Just check the phonology, you will be slightly horrified but other than that its a very generic isolating northern germanic language. Huge amounts of vocab from proto-germanic(duh), english and french. The grammar is basically a remix of english. I still think its good to learn if you live in sweden which is kinda hard nowadays actually cause even swedish youth thinks theyre better off with english which is kinda sad.

Don’t try this at home; a swan could easily break a grown man’s arm. Or at least his glasses.

When I was seven, I broke my arm. For reasons I still don't understand, it looked like a normal arm with a lower case "u" in the middle of it. My doctor referred to it as a "swan neck" break. (He also called me a cry baby, which I don't think was fair.)

No actual swan was involved, but your sentiment often makes me think of that.

What’s the deal with swans? I’ve heard of angry geese, I’ve even known a few people who received injuries from one, but not swans.

Take a stroll near a nesting swan and let me know how it goes for you…they may be pretty, but they are extremely defensive birds
