A 'håndmad' is a term used to describe being hit by a flat hand in the face. Håndmad literally means an open sandwich. Also known as 'smørrebrød', but the latter is 'højt belagt' high layered, making smørrebrød more of a mouth full but actually less nutritious. A håndmad is flat in comparison to smørrebrød and makes a more snappy sound on delivery than it's relative. Danish girls often give out håndmadder if you express your intentions to directly. But on the other hand if you don't you'll risk ending up being only good friends. It's a balance really despite Danish girls reputation. We do export the real frivolous ones to avoid to many fist fights in the bars. But here I go babelling away again...
This is a Danish term invented to describe the Carlsberg you'll often find in the groin area of seated Danish truck drivers. It literally translates in to — testis biber — in latin. Interesting enough 'testis' means 'a witness', which translates the term into the beautiful phrase 'A witness beer'.

In Denmark more traditional aspects include slå katten af tønden ("hit the cat out of the barrel"), which is somewhat similar to a piñata, except that there is a wooden barrel, which is full of candy and has the image of a cat on it. Historically there was a real black cat in the barrel, and beating it was superstitiously considered a safeguard against evil. After the candy pours out, the game continues until the entire barrel is broken. The one who knocks down the bottom of the barrel (making all the candy spill out) becomes kattedronning ("queen of cats"), the one who knocks down the last piece of the barrel becomes kattekonge ("king of cats").
LOL Kahuna, I don't know why but this is a new favorite word of mine. Maybe i'm getting tired. But on wikipedia i found out there's forty different types of kahuna listed in the book, 'Tales from the Night Rainbow'. Night Rainbow. I'm adding that right away, I have never seen a Night Rainbow, have you?
I think Guru is a kind of leader type although the word literally means teacher. Cos I looked up Lama, which have the same meaning. And I think a Lama can be considered a spiritual leader (as well as a teacher) to quite a few people.
From Wiki: Lama (Tibetan: བླ་མ་; Wylie: bla-ma) is a title for a Tibetan religious teacher. The name is similar to the Sanskrit term 'guru' (see Tibetan Buddhism and Bön). The title can be used as an honorific title conferred on a monk, nun or (in the Nyingma, Kagyu and Sakya schools) advanced tantric practitioner to designate a level of spiritual attainment and authority to teach, or may be part of a title such as Dalai Lama or Panchen Lama applied to a lineage of reincarnate lamas (Tulkus).
Heres a few measures which are a bit boring but very literally are an obscure measure of man: Light flyweight, Featherweight, Super flyweight, Cruiserweight, Super featherweight, Mini flyweight (is that a bananaflyweight?) and what kind of bird delivers a super feather?

In Denmark a horeunge is the the word for widow, which in typesetting refers to the final line of a paragraph that falls at the top the following page of text, separated from the remainder of the paragraph on the previous page.
Now the correct translation of the word horeunge is not a widow, but a child born outside marriage. Also known as a bastard child.
The term can also be used to refer simply to an uncomfortably short (e.g. a single word or two very short words) final line of a paragraph.
A related term, orphan, refers to the first line of a paragraph appearing on its own at the bottom of a page with the remaining portion of the paragraph appearing on the following page; in other words the first line of the paragraph has been "left behind" by the remaining portion of text.
Note that a widow, by the second definition above, can also fall at the bottom of a page, in the sense that the page ends on a very short line at the end of a paragraph.
An illustration of a widowed line, highlighted in yellow, appearing at the top of a page. One easy way to remember the difference between an orphan and a widow is to remember that orphans "have no past, but a future", while widows "have a past but no future" just as an orphan or widow in life.
Curiosity is any natural inquisitive behaviour, evident by observation in many animal species, and is the emotional aspect of living beings that engenders exploration, investigation, and learning.
My grandmother actually had a brother but his name wasn't Laus but Knud, which I guess was to difficult to pronounce after all, even for a Danish cat. On the other hand, if it could have you'd probably would've heard of it. :-)
My brother has a cat to, named Pedro, it can play fetch the toy mouse like a retriever dog... cats are truly amazing creatures.
Be quiet you ... and let me continue my evil doing in peace because I am an immoral person and now I will go on and fill the tags of all my badass words with evil spam... muhahahahh...!
oh, no, don't be alarmed all my eviltagdoing has been undone. Actually im a quiet person, who like ... you guessed it : wordies! Thank you reesatee for letting me know how loquacious I have been in a heartwarm but direct way.
And to any frightned pigs... next time my name pops up in a correspondance, let it be near my profile page.... right?
And I second the opinion about emphasizing how the site is used and should be maintained by us, (yes I'm one of you guys now.. ha!), and future wordies. Nobody would like to see wordie.org, turn in to a chickenrally of gossip and hearsay.
— fear of long words. Hippopoto- "big" due to its allusion to the Greek-derived word hippopotamus (though this is derived as hippo- "horse" compounded with potam-os "river", so originally meaning "river horse"; according to the Oxford English, hippopotamine has been construed as large since 1847, so this coinage is reasonable); -monstr- is from Latin words meaning "monstrous", -o- is a pseudo-Greek noun-compounding vowel; -sesquipedali- comes from "sesquipedalian" meaning a long word (literally "a foot and a half long" in Latin), -o- is a pseudo-Greek noun-compounding vowel, and -phobia means "fear". Note: This was mentioned on the first episode of Brainiac Series Five as one of Tickle's Teasers.
I find the context of this word confusing, because in my opinion you are either the founder of something or not. You might have gotten some help or someone might have pointed you in the right direction, but being a 'co-founder'?
It sounds to me like the founder not wanting to share the whole credit for founding something. Is a father a co-founder or what? If you want to you could help me out on this word... or perhaps sustain my opinion by more examples.
Snit·za·graab - Prehistoric tool for snitzing or cutting, also to be used as a weapon for e.g. stabbing a sable tooth tiger a few times trying to stay alive. Invented in the short story Gruha's Snitzagraab about life in Africa several years ago. The handle of the Snitzagraab is the tools achilles heal.

A cure for everything. Invented by leading scientists in the 21st century resulting in a temporary over-population on earth. Proven to be the cure for indeed everything during the 2nd Big Bang ORIGIN early 21st cent.: from Bifotikas + -in.

This is an absolut favorite word of mine. I like the subtle organic action quality of the word 'growth', like the growing of an extra limp. Inspired me to write a short story about Thomas, who actually did grow an additional limp and went to the doctor. Antonym withering.

michaelchang commented on the word morbror laus
My grandmother actually had a brother but his name wasn't Laus but Knud, which I guess was to difficult to pronounce after all, even for a Danish cat. On the other hand, if it could have you'd probably would've heard of it. :-)
My brother has a cat to, named Pedro, it can play fetch the toy mouse like a retriever dog... cats are truly amazing creatures.

Be quiet you ... and let me continue my evil doing in peace because I am an immoral person and now I will go on and fill the tags of all my badass words with evil spam... muhahahahh...!
oh, no, don't be alarmed all my eviltagdoing has been undone. Actually im a quiet person, who like ... you guessed it : wordies! Thank you reesatee for letting me know how loquacious I have been in a heartwarm but direct way.
And to any frightned pigs... next time my name pops up in a correspondance, let it be near my profile page.... right?
And I second the opinion about emphasizing how the site is used and should be maintained by us, (yes I'm one of you guys now.. ha!), and future wordies. Nobody would like to see wordie.org, turn in to a chickenrally of gossip and hearsay.

michaelchang commented on the word hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
— fear of long words. Hippopoto- "big" due to its allusion to the Greek-derived word hippopotamus (though this is derived as hippo- "horse" compounded with potam-os "river", so originally meaning "river horse"; according to the Oxford English, hippopotamine has been construed as large since 1847, so this coinage is reasonable); -monstr- is from Latin words meaning "monstrous", -o- is a pseudo-Greek noun-compounding vowel; -sesquipedali- comes from "sesquipedalian" meaning a long word (literally "a foot and a half long" in Latin), -o- is a pseudo-Greek noun-compounding vowel, and -phobia means "fear". Note: This was mentioned on the first episode of Brainiac Series Five as one of Tickle's Teasers.

michaelchang commented on the word co-founder
I find the context of this word confusing, because in my opinion you are either the founder of something or not. You might have gotten some help or someone might have pointed you in the right direction, but being a 'co-founder'?
It sounds to me like the founder not wanting to share the whole credit for founding something. Is a father a co-founder or what? If you want to you could help me out on this word... or perhaps sustain my opinion by more examples.

This is an absolut favorite word of mine. I like the subtle organic action quality of the word 'growth', like the growing of an extra limp. Inspired me to write a short story about Thomas, who actually did grow an additional limp and went to the doctor. Antonym withering.
