Worse than Today (Christmas day)

"Sämre än Jula-da", is a popular expression, at least in some parts of Skåne. Well, some villages... or wait some houses in some villages... let's just call it what it is... I have never heard anyone except my Granny and my Mum using this expression, yes and baby sister. It is a very useful one, so please use it, and especially today since there is a special form available today.... Sämre än idag!

And since we are talking about expressions that ought to be used more I will give you a few more,

"Se på fan när han borstar sin gris" = something to say when you're surprised, or when you happen to catch the devil cleaning his pig and you want to call someone's attention to this activity.

"I röven på sme'ns katt" = Hell no! You can just forget about it!

"Glo dig mellan benen tills du blir go igen" = When somebody gets upset, and you don't really care about it... the strange thing is why will one get happy again by looking between one's leg? But yoga makes me happy, so it is probably not that far fetched.

And here I thought the expression went "Gno dig mellan bena...", which would make much more sense. ;-P

Alltså, det kan vara så... yoga förklaringen är bra den med tycker jag. ... var sören är alla språkvetare när man behöver dom?

Jag är inte helt övertygad om att språkvetare biter på kattarpska. ;-)
