“united states” is not referring to the country as a whole, but to the actually states that make it up, silly goose. on a related note…i thought we were all required to read shakespeare in high school…
I think Paddybone is either trolling, or an American. Scandinavia is a geographical location wherein the states Norway, Sweden, and Finland can be found.
“state” means a division of land that is considered a political entity. I.e. nation = country = state.
While you are correct that “hey dummy” used state in united states incorrectly, he is still right overall.
Hey now! Not all Americans are that stupid! Some of us are aware there’s a world outside of the United States. And some of us know the definition of state.
I’m not American, but I award you a +1 for being able to see past the patriotic propaganda of your nation, and hopefully want to do something about its current poor level of education.
pff you havent seen Denmark (i live there). It sucks! Bunch of small kids who thinks they’re awesome, and that Denmark is the best country in the world.
He actually referenced a Shakespeare quote (replacing rotten with funny). Which only further proves that Americans are dimwitted, for not knowing this.
yes, because knowledge of shakespeare plays is proof of an intelligent person
please tell me how shakespeare is so important so i can go read the junk i skimmed in high school to get a passing grade in a class called ‘english’ which didn’t actually help me in my understanding of the language…
“State” is a term used to describe a nation. So yes, Demark is a state. Listen here, American: There are fifty soveriegn states which comprise the United States of America.
Yes, we treat our pets a LOT better than the Americans it seems. I used to watch that animal rescue thing on National Geographic channel but it just got too horrible to watch.
I will run for Minister of State (danish version of Prime Minister or President) and I will personally oversee the construction of 2 new islands: ROFLand and LMAOland!!! A vote for me is a vote for lolcats!
Actually, it’s not spelled “Middlefart” – it’s Middelfart
I live here too, and although the weather’s rather bleary most of the time, and I don’t live on Lolland, I LOL a lot
Btw, we’ve got something called “slutspurt” and “fartkontrol” too
(Which means final sale and speed control, respectively)
Natasha:
Slutspurt means Final Sprint, and as such has NOTHING to do with sales…
But of course, if you do no sports or running, and only do shopping, I can see how you would think so…
Ah, well, sorry, it has two meanings, then. One official and one unofficial, could we at least agree on that? Because it IS used as a sales campaign or whatever.
Maybe the danes are the best to say what danish words mean….
But youre right. It CAN mean that. It is normally used when the sales are ending, or entering the last days. Then you will have to do a Final Sprint to make the sale in time..
I live in DK, and i’ve never thought about it before, but yeh we danes like to laugh alot I know i did when i saw this ! And the danish language have some very very funny names when pronounced in english
Not at all – have you heard about Pilsen Urquell (Plzeň) and many other Czech beers? In DK they have Lolland, we have best beer in the world – everything is fine
We danes seem to be very loud about our nationality, when we are mentioned in popular media, probably because of our small sizem, and relatively little influence in global politics and such.
Lolland IS fun, especially the names of some villages. Was there last summer. But Hørmested is quite funny too (translated: Stinky-place).
Gotta love Denmark and the Danish language.
Denmark is said to be the happiest country in the world. I’ll tell ya’, it is for me!
Actually, Lolland is one of Denmark’s most boring places ever. Also, it doesn’t mean “Laughing Out Loud-land”. That’s just the result of someone who didn’t have an English map. Furthermore, LOL doesn’t mean “Laughing Out Loud” anymore. It’s come to mean “I have nothing more interesting to add to this conversation”.
hej now, be nice! they might hear you! and im not going to stand an arguement with someone from Bornholm with a straight face! they sing when they talk…
I’ve come to think of something…
In danish, ‘chef’ is ‘Kok’
And what you call ‘Danish Pastry’ we call ‘wiener brød (bread)’
… We really do suck don’t we?
All I know is that we have Tarm and Lem. And in between we have Denmarks perinium, also known as Skjern.
You guys figure out what Tarm and Lem means. Hint – Lem can be more than 1 thing, though in this context it’s pretty easy to guess which one of the translations I mean.
F1RST!!11!1!11111!!
I hate you
Lol ^^ I wish i was there !
FIRST!!!!1!1!!!!11! lolland, home of lolcats, birthplace of the lol, and home to the best comedians. lolland i salute you!
First.. to fail.
HARD.
There’s something funny in the state of Denmark.
Denmark is not a state it is a country
The original meaning of state is, in fact, what you mean by a country. Hence the phrase, “nation state”, “united states”, “department of state”, etc.
“united states” is not referring to the country as a whole, but to the actually states that make it up, silly goose. on a related note…i thought we were all required to read shakespeare in high school…
just for knowing that makes you fail……………………………HARD
and Stockholm is the capital of Scandinavia and Norway is the capital of Russia?
*facepalm*
I think Paddybone is either trolling, or an American. Scandinavia is a geographical location wherein the states Norway, Sweden, and Finland can be found.
What makes you think he’s North American?
“state” means a division of land that is considered a political entity. I.e. nation = country = state.
While you are correct that “hey dummy” used state in united states incorrectly, he is still right overall.
Denmark is both! Believe me, i live here
Luk røven…
Helt enig d:
Tjaldfeen, du er så FAIL! MEN, du er dansker, så det gør dig WIN!
HEJ TABERE
Naha, spader
Havde sgu regnet med at jeg var den eneste dansker herpå :b
Tror jeg sgu du langt fra er :p
Hold da kæft man, alligevel pænt mange danskere
Jävla Dansker, trix är för svenskarna.
Jeg tvivler – vi er mange!
state can mean a sovereign entity
You must be american.
Hey now! Not all Americans are that stupid! Some of us are aware there’s a world outside of the United States. And some of us know the definition of state.
That’s true =) Some of you are quite nice =)
I am also American and I also +1 your comment.
I too am American, and this gets a +1 from me.
I’m not American, but I award you a +1 for being able to see past the patriotic propaganda of your nation, and hopefully want to do something about its current poor level of education.
pff you havent seen Denmark (i live there). It sucks! Bunch of small kids who thinks they’re awesome, and that Denmark is the best country in the world.
Then why don´t you pack your s**t and get the f**k outta here??
Sincerely a fellow dane.
Do you happen to be a small kid?
I am not a small kid, i am an adult, and danish!
And I approve of this message!
Mmmm…. Danish
Or Vote Danskatfolkipartiet?
Universal Health Care.
Every country has that. I live in Ireland. Most kids here are like that, if not all of them. I’d even go so far as to say they’re worse.
Not everyone’s stupid, but yes, most people here are dumbasses.
+9001 from this American.
Gosh, my country. Why so fail at education?
What?, that’s over 9000
Not all americans are idiots… but almost all the ones that foreign people meet are.
Actually, Denmark IS a country.
As a danish person, I should know.
Shakespeare quote recognition FAIL.
It’s not as in a state like in the US., but as in the state of something… The situation… Duuuh….
He actually referenced a Shakespeare quote (replacing rotten with funny). Which only further proves that Americans are dimwitted, for not knowing this.
Yes, all Americans are idiots for not knowing everything about everything. We are not worthy…
:rollseyes:
Aw hush up now, no need to get angry at those pesky educated lot, after all, isnt ignorance bliss?
:picks nose, forms a ball, throws it in your eyes:
The dips**t of the day award goes to Blabla because not everyone who failed to glean the Hamlet quote from G. James’ comment was American.
yes, because knowledge of shakespeare plays is proof of an intelligent person
please tell me how shakespeare is so important so i can go read the junk i skimmed in high school to get a passing grade in a class called ‘english’ which didn’t actually help me in my understanding of the language…
He did? cause to me it sounded like a quote from an old danish song!
I’m a patriotic American, and I knew this to be a paraphrased Shakespeare quote
LOL FAIL!!
Somebody needs to go read Hamlet now…
failure suits you
Someone doesnt read Shakespere…
“State” is a term used to describe a nation. So yes, Demark is a state. Listen here, American: There are fifty soveriegn states which comprise the United States of America.
Look it up in wikipedia if you don’t believe me.
Perhaps that explains Denmark’s high ranking in the “Satisfaction with Life Index”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satisfaction_with_Life_Index
Not only that. I bet there is a ROFLAND and a LMAOLAND somewhere in Denmark too.
But sadly, no ICANHASCHEESEBURERLAND
They’re cats seem happy enough, though.
Their*
Yes, we treat our pets a LOT better than the Americans it seems. I used to watch that animal rescue thing on National Geographic channel but it just got too horrible to watch.
Animal hoarding? WTF is up with that?
Actually Denmark is not far from Hamburg, where the Hamburgers roam
I’ve been there. It’s not funny at all.
agreed
Haha, I’ve never thought of it before
I live in Denmark, and there’s no ROFLland or LMAOland.. I’m sorry :/
But we got knudshoved
yeah man and skagen and djursland
we must found ROFLland and LMAOland!!!
I will run for Minister of State (danish version of Prime Minister or President) and I will personally oversee the construction of 2 new islands: ROFLand and LMAOland!!! A vote for me is a vote for lolcats!
Actually, it’s not spelled “Middlefart” – it’s Middelfart

My bad.

But youre right. It CAN mean that. It is normally used when the sales are ending, or entering the last days. Then you will have to do a Final Sprint to make the sale in time..
Whoa subnus you double fail. You clearly missed the Shakespeare reference buddy :S
I live in DK, and i’ve never thought about it before, but yeh we danes like to laugh alot
I know i did when i saw this !
And the danish language have some very very funny names when pronounced in english
denmark – the happiest place in the world. I think it must be the Carlsberg, you know, probably the best beer in the world!
Not at all – have you heard about Pilsen Urquell (Plzeň) and many other Czech beers? In DK they have Lolland, we have best beer in the world – everything is fine
You see, Carlsberg is actualy Swedish, wherever your from, I am dissapoint…
nope it’s danish
Ironically, LOLland is one of the least fun places in Denmark. I’ve lived there for 18 years, but I’ve luckily escaped
However, not as dreary as Læsø (Reading Island, roughly translated)!
When I first observed it, I thought it was a typographical error. I think I’m a sesquipedalian (an individiual whom enjoys the use of long words).BD
hahahahahah I live in denmark, never thought of that
AWESOME
Denmark is the country where the lifts says “I fart” when in use.
… Who could ever forget the city of Middelfart? (pronounced Middle fart). Oh, the joy of the Danish… – Ain’t that something to eat?
Who in the name of god calls it “Middle fart”?
You, my dear sir, failed at being funny AND informative at the same time.
heh heh lolland, other than that its the most boring country i ever had the misfortune to visit
We danes seem to be very loud about our nationality, when we are mentioned in popular media, probably because of our small sizem, and relatively little influence in global politics and such.
IM A DANE!!!1!!!!11 WE ARE HAPPY!!!111!
AND WE ARE DRUNK!!11!!!
we are awesome!!!!111!!!!!
At least in Denmark it is
Another dane inbound!
We’ve also got Falster. I bet that he some kind of liar somewhere…..
haha, just today our sub in science was saying how surveys show that denmark is the world’s happiest country!!
Ignorance is bliss.
When going through Danmark I saw that on the map too… fact is “lolland” isn’t such a happy place… ah well it sounds nice.
Hey Steve, come by Djursland to visit
Oh yeah! Djursland! That place is happy, sort of….
First time I heard this one was about 3 years ago in a Danish movie. I loll’d.
Whoa there… was a danish movie actually being watched in a country outside Denmark?!
Danish movies sucks hairy monkey balls…
nah Adams Æbler is pretty nice isn’t it?
I agree! and also Blinkende Lygter!
And every Olsen Banden movie EVER, except the kids ones, they suck.
and the new animated one
Norwegian movies suck hairy monkey balls too! (^-^)
So does Swedish movies xD
Haha, lived there in all the 17 years of my life and never thought of it XD
It’s a really nice relaxing place though
Lolland IS fun, especially the names of some villages. Was there last summer. But Hørmested is quite funny too (translated: Stinky-place).
Gotta love Denmark and the Danish language.
Denmark is said to be the happiest country in the world. I’ll tell ya’, it is for me!
in jylland theres a place called “pikhede” translated “c**kfield”
seriøst er der et sted der hedder pik hede?
Yeah.. it’s one of those things that make me proud of being danish.. Oo
We have middelFART xD
I’m from Denmark and a big fan of anything LOL related.. never realised it until now.. LOLland.. heh
Denmark.. home of Roskilde Festival and Tjaldby (weed town)
I never even realised this and I live next to this island D:
Never noticed that many lol cats or anything though :/
i live in Denmark so just LOL
Actually, Lolland is one of Denmark’s most boring places ever. Also, it doesn’t mean “Laughing Out Loud-land”. That’s just the result of someone who didn’t have an English map. Furthermore, LOL doesn’t mean “Laughing Out Loud” anymore. It’s come to mean “I have nothing more interesting to add to this conversation”.
FIRST!!!!1!!1!!1!11
Huh?
!!!
SNAKE!!!!!!!!
xD
Guys….I have a group on facebook….check it out;p It´s called: No!!! Denmark is not a part of Sweden and neither is Bornholm!!
Haha
Sweden can have Bornholm though. Bornholm is kinda Denmarks retarded sibling.
hej now, be nice! they might hear you! and im not going to stand an arguement with someone from Bornholm with a straight face! they sing when they talk…
We don’t want your country, we just want your hot chicks and your beer, apart from that, keep what you got there
I’ve come to think of something…
In danish, ‘chef’ is ‘Kok’
And what you call ‘Danish Pastry’ we call ‘wiener brød (bread)’
… We really do suck don’t we?
Wiener and kok…
We dont suck, were just funny! its a kind of self-irony!
you all fail.. LOLland isnt really funny for a name. Middlefart is.
About 20 other people have already said that.
And it’s spelled “middelfart”
I’m sorry, Who failed again?
All I know is that we have Tarm and Lem. And in between we have Denmarks perinium, also known as Skjern.
You guys figure out what Tarm and Lem means. Hint – Lem can be more than 1 thing, though in this context it’s pretty easy to guess which one of the translations I mean.
The real fail in these comments happened when the next guy presumed to know more than the guy before him.
Unfortunately this trend, this conga line of fail, continues on to the very end of the thread.
Oh well..Never thought of that..
Hvad sker der for at alle begynder at diskutere latterlige danske ord som Middel fart?
In the western part of northern Jutland lies Kællingdalen (The bitc* Valley)
oh, bump
I live in Denmark, Lolland…
I’m not happy -_-
