Bah. My Swedish grandmother always told me Norwegians are stolt.
Now that I’ve looked it up, it doesn’t sound like much of an insult. I think she meant it as “stuck-up.”
Since I am Swiss/German with an Irish paternal grandmother, I cannot speak authoritatively on Scandinavians. All I know is that my Swedish buddy was quite jovial and sporting about the differences/similarities of Swedes and Norwegians. The cherry on top is that they BOTH apparently consider themselves superior to Fins. ;o)
