punk-solas:

I love how old timey danish swearing was just “well one (1) inconvenient thing happened so i guess i want to die horribly now”

like we have kraftedeme (cancer eat me), eddermame (poison hex me)  fandeme (devil take me), sateme (satan take me),

saftsuseme (satan beat me),

dælme (devil take me), pokkerme (smallpox eat me), knagme ([the devil’s] claw crush me), etc

to be clear, only the first half see use these days and even then it’s not super common anymore

idk if old timey danes were metal or just way too comfortable tempting faith
