Being of Greek descent, you grew up with delicious cuisine. Being of Scandinavian descent, the “fisk” meaning of “fish” for me triggered a childhood traumatic memory of “lutefisk,” a gelatinous mass purported to be tasty and nutritious. Don’t get me started on “surströmming”. No wonder my Great Grandfather emigrated from Sweden …
Very well said. Reminds me of a disruption at our state fair recently. Our senator was giving a speech and a few people got up and started shouting, disrupting his speech. The comments on social media were as you would expect - "first amendment, blah, blah, blah". Wish this post was available then. I would have shared it with them, even if it did no good
I clicked on your link for “Fisk” and learned it even has a sexual meaning, which activity I am too old to even attempt.
Yeah, that was a new one for me as well.
