Expression | Meaning | Use |
| b-circa | A pun on the word “berserker” referring to an angry old man who is now either too feeble or fat to carry out his threats. Commonly used when encountering frothing, greying pop culture consumers. | “This dorkus ranting about the betterness of Episode 4 is obviously a pasty old b-circa.”
|
| Bskinz | Viking berserkers were known to don bear skins when engaging in battle. The internet has created the largest contingent of berserkers since the Viking Age. When a Viking is about to enter a flame war, he is said to don his “Bskinz”. | “Crossed da line, byatch. I gonna slip into my bskinz like i slipped into yo mamma last night." |
| Climbing the World Tree (Yggdrasil) | The world tree, Yggdrasil, connects the 9 realms together, somehow, and as such is rather important (from an infrastructure point of view at least). It also apparently has great powers, although what powers a giant tree can have escapes us. To climb the world tree with your fragile mortal body is pretty super. | “Dude, you can walk AND talk at the same time? Talk about climbing the world tree! You must be the King Yggdrasil of your monkey tribe yeah?" |
GNOR | The first three letters of Norwegian Wood with a “G” placed on the front in a clumsy and failed attempt at linking gnawing and blowjobs. | X: “Suck on my GNOR"
Y: “Isn't that redundant; telling me to suck on your blowjob?" |
Go Hagar Yourself
| Hagar the Horrible is a comic strip based around the life of a Viking and his family. Basically, he is a big lovable oaf living modern day situations with a laughable Viking overlay. Occasionally funny, but more annoying than anything else really. An insult upon fine Vikings anywhere. “Hagar”, in Viking chat, means a cruel mockery/parody of real life either as a statement against someone you believe is selling out, or as a throwaway insult like “go fuck yourself”. | X: George Bush really lost my support when he stopped drinking.
Y: Yeah, he really Haggar'd himself with that one. or X: Shrek 1-3 = the best films ever!
Y: Go Hagar yourself you cretin. |
| Going to Niflheim | Niflheim is the land of the dead, a depressing place. Lacking in lol, one could even say. A lot like a toilet after a visit by a Viking that has been supping on much junkfood and soft drink while chatting with friends to all hours on the net. Going to Niflheim or just 'niflheiming' means taking a toilet break. | "I just drank a litre of coke (in a skull of course lol) now I gotta go visit Niflheim, back soon!" or "Dude, your breath smells like Niflheim, dropped your toothbrush in the bog again?" |
| I'd rather be First Mate on a funeral ship | Apparently some Vikings on death, or near death, were interred on a ship that was made into a floating funeral pyre to sail off to the afterlife, whatever that was for them in that particular context. It's nice to be the dead guy being burnt like that on a hot boat, but perhaps not so nice to be a crewman. | X: “You know what would be cool? if you came and scrubbed my corns off with your tongue.” Y: “Um, I'd rather be First Mate on a funeral ship. Thanks tho!” |
| losh | The longships were the main attack vessels of the Viking fleets. They were a sight that inspired fear, awe, reverence, and submission. Online, the shortened form "losh" is predictably used to refer to one's penis. | “loshed a tight blonde last night.” or “she thought we be treaty partners but when she saw the losh she see i be a viking raydar." |
| RnP | Rape and Pillage. Reputed to be one of the favourite of Viking activities. It is used online as a catchall for aggressive, unlawful, immoral, or unhealthy activities that are nonetheless enjoyable. | “Me and Ralphie totally did a RnP job on that bucket of chicken.” or “Interest rates up, time to RnP some home buyers." |
| r00n | Runes were intricately carved stones that told tales of Viking exploits. Their historical accuracy is highly questionable. Online, Vikings use the tern “r00n” to describe a source of questionable veracity. | “Dat wikipedia is biggest r00n by GBs in history.” or “He said he gave the losh to Mandy Green, but his word is just r00n." |
| Sagaz | Drama was invented by the Ancient Greeks, but wisely replaced by the Vikings in favour of the more manly “Saga” as a form of storytelling. The concept of drama was sadly revived by Tom Anderson as the revenue engine for MySpace. Vikings don't use MySpace. | “don't be cauzing teh sagaz, i gots trouble enuffs.” or “Life is full of sagaz, but sagaz be full of RnP. NO r00ning!" |
| SCOJPJ | Social Conditions or Just Plain Jerks? (pronounced "Scoppy") Did the Vikings pillage due to social pressures at home or were they just mean-spirited jerks? A quandary that can be much discussed yet will never really have a satisfactory resolution. | Y: Butternut or Pumpkin, which is best? X: SCOJPJ! |
| SKUM | Skull Mug. Vikings reputedly used the carved skulls of defeated enemies as drinking vessels. To possess a Skull Mug is to show complete dominance over an opponent, as well as your impressive drinking skills. | “u my SKUM now byeatchie.” or “That oafs head so thick, use him for a Skum you only get a half shot of whiskey in there. Still own it tho." |
TAE
| Tough Ain't Easy. The Vikings were tough gentlemen, but they were also very concerned about cleanliness and grooming. TAE is used to refer to the hard work that goes into a ragged and bloodthirsty appearance. | “slept on my face and got knots in my beard plaids – fuckin' TAE” or “i know everyone here says TAE, but have any of you got haircuts or shaved because of it? comments?" |
| V;-king | A corruption of the word Viking, using a semi colon and dash to suggest crying eyes at the word's centre. It is often used self-referentially by Vikings trying to show their emotional inner core. Real Vikings despise those who use this term – using it in your user profile is reason for an immediate banning from most hardcore Viking forums. | “Cleaved a V;-king at the bar last night. He had puppies inside his head.” or “Saw a V;-king sniffing posies; fertilized them with his blood. Then pulled them out and wiped my crack with them.” |
| Vinland | Vinland was a name given to a failed Viking colony on the east coast of North America. On the internets Vikings use it to refer to the act of working really hard yet still failing miserably, because other people>you. | X: So let me get this straight – you spent 6 weeks training at the gym, you bet your children’s college fund on you winning and yet despite this, you still lost?
Y: Yes
X: No offence dude, but you are one sad Vindlander. or “Dude, you are such a goddamed vinlander, what with your terrible BO and constant failure with women.” |
Woah'din!
| Wodin was some sort of Norse god, before the Christians invented boats. He was pretty powerful, in a way that only enraged Killer Gods can be. To invoke his name is to reinforce emotion. | X: “Dude! Look, that dog just bit a baby's head off while mouthing off about your mother!” Y: “Woah'din! That dirty bastard!” |
