So basically Vikings were the equivalent of a modern day motorcycle gang. “Hey Olaf, you want to get the guys together and take the boat out to go a viking?” “Viking” was a Scandinavian word for going around on your boat committing piracy.

Probably much worse. They killed off whole towns and were small and swift, and built lightweight sea vessels to drag onshore and then go back out to sea with. Not big, Goliath, guys like in the movies or Netflix. Merciless, but intelligent when it came to navigating the oceans.
