Dubbelkrapp at the supermarket (English/Swedish)
When I first moved to Sweden I spotted a toilet roll called °°ùä±è±è and another one ¶Ù³Ü²ú²ú±ð±ô°ì°ùä±è±è and a kitchen roll called °Ã¶°ì. We have here a chocolate bar called Plopp. There is tinned ham called Bog and if you're lucky you may find a product that is slut, meaning 'out of stock'.

A widely misconstrued Swedish word is °ì°ùä±è±è, which means crepe (paper). It's pronounced 'crap' and is widely used for toilet paper!
May God bless you and all others with these stories - have just been laughing so loudly I woke up my family! Thank you all for rescuing an otherwise very difficult day - and I will be so careful in future essays into foreign languages!
