If you’re Norwegian or happen to spend a lot of time around Norwegians, then this fact that absolutely blew our minds might not be news to you—but apparently the word “Texas” is slang for “crazy” or “wild,” as in, “the end of the [whatever sport they play in Norway] game was totally Texas!”

So they say ‘Texas’ as if it means ‘Florida’? That’s Florida!

Am supposed to be puzzled, hurt, insulted?
I think I'll go with wildly indifferent. This is a whole county that isn't as large as some of our states. Imagine a whole country, with it's own language, money, government, army, navy and air force, and only the size of Montana.
Sort of a cute little toy country...

Norwegian Vikings settled in North America, in the British Isles, in Ireland, in the province of Normandy in France (hence the name), in southern Italy etc.
They were extremely consequential relative to their numbers, throughout history.

It is actually a compliment to us Texans. We got a reputation for being party animals in Norway. The Norge would party hearty with us. I worked three years with them in the North Sea. It was good duty and the women were drop dead gorgeous.
Norwegians will tell up front if they like you or do not. It made life much simpler. They are good people but taxed to death.

I was in Rome in 1984 and I stopped at a corner store to get a cappuccino while suffering from jet lag.
I had been told to wear my most comfortable shoes so I wore my cowboy boots.
The old man behind the counter was smoking a cigar and as I drank my drink he asked, "Americano?"
And I said, "Si."
I then lifted my leg up so he could see my boots and he smiled and said, "Ah, Texas."
Italians like Texans as do the Spanish.
