What's a bling?

It hip-hop slang for "accessories", e.g. jewelry.

Damn, I'm gettin old.

You must be. Even this old fart knew what bling is...[:'(]

Det er ligesom fordelen ved at tale et sprog som under 1/1000 af verdens befolkning kan forstå.[:'(]

Oh Thread, I love computerised "translators"...

[Mike Solli]

smart man....

[rtrapasso]

Well, i will admit i know next to nothing about Danish. I did read a translated Danish science-fiction (sort of) novel once. At one point, the author starts waxing lyrical about Danish - "How rich is my language!" - followed by an asterisk and a footnote. The footnote read "We disagree - the translators."

[rtrapasso]

I have no idea whether the Danish language is rich or poor, but it is about the only thing i can remember about the book 20+ years later...

[DuckofTindalos]

Heh... Without denigrating my native tongue, Danish isn't as rich as English. What sets Danish apart is intonation; the same word can have multiple meanings, depending on which syllable you emphasise. That's part of what makes it a beast for foreigners to learn.

OK, i give - what does "Det er ligesom fordelen ved at tale et sprog som under 1/1000 af verdens befolkning kan forstå" mean??

Could make for interesting conversations when you're drunk.
