Ye Olde Pub (The English Pub)

Too many gadgets?

[Getingar]

Ah, I only have an Optoma HD200x projector, 1 LG 32" screen, 1 Samsung 40" screen, a X360, a PS3, a Wii, a PS2 and a blu-ray player.

 

Hm, the worst part is that I feel I'm constantly broke but I see now that I have too many things, too many... Is there a good word for "Duppeditt" in English?

Eit tilsvarande ord på engelsk er «thingummy», som kan bli til «thingamabob» eller «thingamajig».

 

 

Perhaps?

[Bear^]

Hm, yes, gadget might work for that purpose. Thingummy is used when you don't remember the name of something

[Slimda]

I'm a big fan of "Thingamajig".

[Gjest Slettet+12348972834]

I would definitely use "thingamajig". Or possibly "thingamabob", although I prefer the former

[DyrtDyr]

"Thingy" or "thingymajig" really You've also got some weird obscure ones like "doodad" and "doohickey". Oh and "whatchamacallit" is heaps used too.

[Slimda]

Doodad is actually a term used in computer games. Doodads are various random objects placed on the game world. This could be doors, plants, rocks, etc. In World of Warcraft, I myself have seen two objects named something like "doodad", which shows that they didn't hide it properly.

Yeah that stems from the word's use as an everyday word for something that you either cant remember the name of, or that really doesn't have one (like for something that you just invented or created mad scientist style)

 

Oh and hey, what's the best Norwegian/Scandinavian beer?!

[Slimda]

Hard to say, I've yet to try a type of beer that doesn't make me nauseous.

[Getingar]

Oh and hey, what's the best Norwegian/Scandinavian beer?!

 

Ask the Danish. They even drink during work hours.

 

Do you like SNUS?

I had to google snus because it is such a rare thing here I've never actually even heard of anyone ever talking about it or using it

[Slimda]

Isn't the english word for "snus" snuff?

 

*edit*

 

Seems "snus" is a wet-tabacco variant of snuff, which is a try-tobacco thingy.

Snuff is something you inhale trough your nose or a type of dip that goes in the lower lip instead of the upper one

[Bear^]

If you search in the dictionary though for "Snus" you get snuff. But if you search for Snuff you get the dry tobacco result. However it does mention "snus" as Moist Snuff which makes a little more sense.

There is no such thing. It's all piss. Sort of like going to the states to drink bud light. For good beer you really got to go further south.

[Gjest Slettet+6132]

Beer? Yuck! I drink Pepsi Max

[cyclo]

Beer? Yuck! I drink Pepsi Max

Ironically that is exactly what I'm doing at the moment

[Getingar]

Don't lie. All true Norweigans drink urge.

[cyclo]

Urge tastes like battery acid...

Urge is law
