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!”

Thanks for the link.
I’ve been looking for something like it for a while.
It’s hard watching BBC America and not having a handle on the slang!
Hank Hill and I were born in the same place. New York City.
I use the term “Norwegians” to mean “jihadis”.
Uffda
“When we travel abroad and people ask us where we’re from, I always say “Texas”. I don’t say we’re Americans.”
Coming back across the border from Mexico, when they ask you to declare “citizenship”, I would always tell them “Kentuckian”.
I don’t think of Norwegians either.
What the hell was that?
Texans don’t care about Norway. The Texas Monthly, produced by the Left in Austin, the Blue Anus of Texas, no doubt thinks this is important information that should somehow grieve the conservatives in this state. We question everything this worthless rag prints…worthless because the paper is too glossy to use effectively in a birdcage.
That’s coming from the people who gave us the word berserk. The Vikings were crazy fighters but when they needed the real wild fighters they let the berserkers loose. I would take it as a compliment Texas.
What is a modern day Norwegian?
Some blonde stick eater that is suicidally self-loathing and hates everything traditionally “Western” from the Church, to their own image in the mirror....???
I have been able to identify all of the structures Mike Judge used in his show except for the propane and propane accessory store.
The original Luly's with the water towering above it is now a real estate office.
If you like brain twister puzzles, try to explain “freedom” to a Norge. They are wonderful people, but are called Europe-Peons for a reason.
Too bad, Hank was born in New York City, Yankee Stadium, I believe. Cotton was there to assassinate Fidel Castro, Mrs. Cotton went into labor. Poor old Hank, a New Yorker.
Hank Hill: Bobby, never make fun of your grandpa. He lost his shins defending Texas from the Japanese in World War Two.
Sooooooo funny
When I lived in Switzerland we watched Dallas. It was Must See TV. Dubbed into German. The only English words were “Deddy” (their pronounciation of Daddy) and of course “Souse Fok.”
Norwegians eat lutefisk, and they call Texas crazy?
