He's going to kill me for this. Marcus is Swedish, and - like most Scandiwegians - speaks very nearly perfect English. Very nearly. Just occasionally he'll come out with something that will have me in gales of laughter. Very often, though, the word he comes up with is actually better than the correct English word:
  • "He died on a river in Sweden, in a canoodle accident."
  • "I like it when you stroke my back like that, but I am very kittlish."
  • "She's not really fat, just volumptuous."
  • I've been invited to a party tomorrow night, but I can't be asked."
  • After a TV ad for the RSPCA: "What is Respka?"
