Re: Texas Raids Planned Parenthood
In related news from Norway.
Norwegians use the word Texas as slang for "crazy".
For example:
In a newspaper article about reckless international truck drivers traveling through the northern part of the country. Norwegian police chief Knut Danielsen, when describing the situation, tells the paper that “it is absolutely texas.”
A fisherman telling a news reporter about the rare swordfish he caught in Northern Norway: “I heard a loud noise from the bay, but I did not know where it came from right away. Thirty seconds to a minute later it jumped out in the fjord. I got to see some of it before I took up the camera,” he says and continues: “It was totally texas!”
It appears in Norway (or Norwegia as Sarah Palin would say) the context involves the phrase, “det var helt texas,” which translates to, roughly, “it was totally/absolutely/completely bonkers.”
