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.

'Northmen' hailing from Scandinavia who were well known for their raids of much of Western Europe and other areas. They settled in many non-Scandinavian areas such as Yorkshire (UK), various parts of Scotland, Dublin (Ireland)and Normandy (France) and their effect on these areas is still felt to this day.

Warriorpeople which were ancestors to toadys scandinavians. Norwegians and Danes counquered northern France and England and Iceland while Swedes and some Finns conquered western Russia and the Baltics. Although most of these raids had vikings from all scandi nations, this was the main composition. And the Norwegian on this site that made the first note: Knulla din mamma.

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."

The only people who, if you saw them on a twilight hill on the horizon, you would shit your pants and run in sheer terror! Vikings raid, raze, and knit in their spare time. No one has been able to oppose them for long; there are vikings among us-- do not cross us. They bring us cool words like: "beserk" which means "bear shirt", "hauberk" which means "steel shirt".
The Vikings just raided England and conquered Europe. They have bagpipes and know how to use them. Hail to the Vikings!
