if aliens study our history they'll look at this decade and be like "I mean, I suppose you could think it weird they apparently had this whole religion about a plush shark from a huge furniture retailier chain with a funny name, but honestly I'm pretty sure we've all seen weirder things, and not just from humanity."

@Nine The fun thing about blahaj (don't have the accent to hand) is that I sort of realised it's pretty close to "blauwe haai".

It's literally just "blue shark". :P

@BatElite @Nine It means blue shark in Swedish, too. The languages are closely related.

@Felthry @Nine Mmhm

I forgot, is IKEA Swedish (probably) or Norse (probably not)?

Follow

@BatElite @Nine The word Norse, as far as we know, is not used for any modern people. Perhaps you're thinking of Norwegian? Either way, IKEA is Swedish. -F

@Felthry @Nine Oh yeah, I prooobably translated "Noors" from Dutch. ^^;
