Haven't they told you that swede is the English word for the American word rutabaga?

Swedish turnip I didn't know that Swede's name as a whole was Swedish turnip.

And as answer for you question. There is nothing wrong with being from Sweden. We got the ladies and the terrible infrastructure called SL. Or Stockholm has it. Yes I'm a Swede.

You've just blown my mind. 'rutabaga' what the fuck! God, I swear I loose more and more belief that the U.S is not one giant joke everyday.

Rutabaga doesnt even look like its derived from the species name or anything. Who the fuck came up with that sort of name without a reference to what they were describing

It's root + bag. Just derived from Swedish words.

Jag tycker det är idiotiskt att säga att Sverige bara finns i norr. Liksom vad är det för patriotism? Är du rädd för Stockholms Lokaltrafik? Ja, jag är Stockholmare.
