1. A term which means "northmen", which is what the raiders from Scandinavia were called by British, French, etc. At one time the Vikngs controlled much of the British Isles and western and northern France.
At one time in its history the French were so weak that they were bullied into making a Viking the Duke Of Normandy and letting the Vikings raid and pillage several Eastern French cities unimpeded. The honest Vikings kept to their word and decided not to sack Paris.
The Vikings were also fine shipwrights that build long oar powered boats called "longboats". These ships were long and thin, and despite their appearence they were very seaworthy. Despite popular belief, the Vikings never used longboats for combat, but as a transport.
Under Erik the Red they were the first finders of North America, but they didn't document it and therfore didn't get the credit. It is believed that the Vikings explored as far into North America as Newfoundland(east of Quebec, near Newbrunswick and Prince Eduard Island).
2. Mascot of Minnesota's NFL team. Note this teams is an an insult to the real Vikings.

1. A verb meaning to take something by force or bully someone into giving you something that rightfully isn't yours. Also could mean using brute force to get your way either with people or inanimate objects such as vending machines or engines i.e. banging on it until it gives up the damn Snickers bar/works. Basically any acttion involving intimidation or force/violence that gains material possessions such as food, cars, women, grapefruits, mufflers, candy, Copenhagen, towns, flying carpets, ninja swords, herpes. Derived from how the Norse and Danish viking generally wrecked people's shit to get stuff they wanted.
2. The word could also be used to describe an action of destruction that deprives anyone from enjoying something, based on the mentality of "If I can't have it, then no one can."

a viking is pretty much the ultimate fighting machine.
put your damn nijas in broad dalight in hand to hand combat with your average hieght average strength viking, your damn ninja wont have time to contemplate his attack before the viking rips hit thraot out and continues to mual the nijas corpse with its skull
pirates without their swords and guns=jack shit aka pansies
vikings need no weapons whereas the other two do, nijas require darkness and objects to mask their presence to be eficient therefor they would suck in open combat
one viking would gladly rush into battle with a thousand pirates and ninjas and take as many as he could before he died

The Vikings were known for there brute strength and there mastery over the sea. They came from Norway and settled in Britain, Iceland, Greenland, and later made settlements in the U.S.A. but they were abandoned. The Vikings invented a boat called the long boat which was used to transport troops all around northern Europe.
The Vikings were easily able to control the northern European countries because of there very well trained warriors.

Norse warriors who pillaged villages. They have large spears, and something else very large, too. ;)
