"Snygga spiror" ;) Then you can "sprattla med blana" or correctly "...bladen". I grew up in the Stockholm burbs, where the essential Swedish slang and colloquial language were invented and spoken. At 6 when first time going with my family to Lappland - that's aro 700 miles North of Stockholm - the other kids didn't understand my language. Words like 'tjej' and 'kille', pretty commonn words for girl and boy back then and standard Swedish today, wore not understood up there. I felt kind of silly having to use 'old people's language' like 'flicka' and 'pojke' to make them understand. Language indeed changes with time. Living separated from your home country and mother tongue really opens your eyes - sorry ears - for that. Taro
