  I never claimed otherwise. I’m just tired that this 92 meme is using outdated language (or numbers rather) to make a point that may have been reasonable to make in the 1800s, but not today. Doesn’t mean our number system is any less retarded today. If anything, I’m just adding on to the fact that Danes are notoriously lazy with the Danish language and will cut corners with all words and sentences the same way Americans cut corners when they chop everybody’s name up into bite sized nicknames. For us, though, it’s more like slurring the end og a word and flat out ignoring letters that are very clearly there in the word.

  Woe is the poor asshole who decides to immigrate here and attempts to learn the cancerous gargle that is our language.

  That said, it is still the best language to curse in and when used in poetry, it can be downright majestic.

  But yeah, our curses are superior to all words in the English language.

  My favourite for life will always be kræftedme = cancer eat me - usually uttered in a sentence to underline how pissed off you are and how serious you are.
