Swedish Lesson #12

Smörgås [sm’ör:gå(:)s]

While you may have heard of smörgåsbord (one of few Swedish words adopted by the English language), you probably didn’t know that the Swedish word for sandwich, smörgås, means “butter goose”.

As bizarre as that sounds, the origin of the word isn’t that crazy: Back when people churned their own butter, small lumps would rise to the milk’s surface and someone likened these lumps to geese bobbing on a lake. Somewhere along the way this came to mean the whole sandwich, not just the lumps.

Apologies if this is already widely known and I’m just pointing out the obvious, but I only just realized that the totally badass Grandma Tyrell in Game of Thrones is played by none other than Diana Rigg, better known as Mrs. Emma Peel of The Avengers (no, not those Avengers) and a major sex symbol of the 60s. My mind = blown. I can’t explain why, but knowing that it’s her makes me so happy, and she’s so freaking good in Game of Thrones too!
