Rulla snöbollar i solsken

This famous swedish phrase describes an attempt to achieve something that is inherently doomed to fail due to unfavorable or contradictory conditions. Just as snowballs cannot be successfully rolled or formed in warm, sunny weather, some tasks become impossible or futile when the necessary circumstances are not in place. The expression highlights the absurdity or impracticality of pursuing an endeavor when the environment or situation is completely unsupportive. Directly translated to "rolling snowballs in sunshine".-Ulf Skönberg

Context: Two friends, Sara and Anton, talk about Anton's idea to plan an outdoor concert in the middle of winter.

Sara: "Are you sure it's a good idea to have an outdoor concert in January?"

Anton: "I know, it's not ideal, but I think it can work."

Sara: "Anton, it feels like trying to roll snowballs in the sunshine. Nobody wants to stand outside and freeze then."

Anton: sighs "You're probably right. Maybe I should think again."

Sammanhang: Två vänner, Sara och Anton, pratar om Antons idé att planera en utomhuskonsert mitt i vintern.

Sara: "Är du säker på att det är en bra idé att ha en konsert utomhus i januari?"

Anton: "Jag vet, det är inte idealiskt, men jag tror det kan funka."

Sara: "Anton, det känns som att försöka rulla snöbollar i solsken. Ingen vill stå ute och frysa då."

Anton: suckar "Du har nog rätt. Kanske jag ska tänka om."

Why Am I So Angry?

Why?

Hym "Why am I so angry? Because for the first 12 years I was depressed and suicidal and now that I can be certain that it wasn't a manifestation of my own mind and that this is something that was DONE TO ME I have ever right to be angry! You will accept the consequences of your collective transgressions against me or I WILL IMPOSE THEM! WHAT I DO TO YOUR KIDS IS GOING TO MAKE YOU LOVE MISOGYNY, ANTI-SEMITISM, RACISM, AND HOMOPHOBIA BY COMPARISON YOU RETARDED VERMIN!"

Fiska fjärilar i regn

This proverb describes the attempt to pursue something delicate, fragile, or elusive in conditions that are completely inappropriate or counterproductive. Much like the absurdity of trying to catch butterflies—a task that requires patience and gentleness—while it’s raining heavily, the expression highlights the futility of trying to achieve a goal when the surrounding environment or circumstances are utterly unfavorable. It suggests that timing and conditions are crucial for success, and without the right setting, even the most well-intentioned efforts are doomed to fail or become frustratingly difficult.The saying directly translated basically means "Fishing for butterflies in the rain".-Ulf Skönberg och kamraterna podden

Context: Two friends, Tom and Lisa, are discussing Lisa's attempt to organize an outdoor event despite bad weather.

Tom: "How’s the event planning going?"

Lisa: sighs "Not great. I’ve been trying to set up this outdoor picnic for weeks, but the forecast keeps showing rain."

Tom: "Sounds like you’re fishing for butterflies in the rain."

Lisa: "I know, right? Every time I think things are coming together, the weather ruins it."

Tom: "Maybe it's time to consider an indoor backup plan. No point chasing butterflies in a storm."

Lisa: "Yeah, I guess you're right. It's just not going to happen the way I imagined."

Sammanhang: Två vänner, Tom och Lisa, diskuterar Lisas försök att organisera ett utomhusevenemang trots dåligt väder.

Tom: "Hur går evenemangsplaneringen?"

Lisa: suckar "Inte bra. Jag har försökt ordna den här utomhuspicknicken i flera veckor, men prognosen fortsätter att visa regn."

Tom: "Det låter som att "fiska fjärilar i regn."

Lisa: "Jag vet, eller hur? Varje gång jag tror att saker går ihop, förstör vädret det."

Tom: "Det kanske är dags att överväga en backupplan inomhus. Ingen idé att jaga fjärilar i en storm."

Lisa: "Ja, jag antar att du har rätt. Det kommer bara inte att bli som jag föreställt mig."

I prish-ee-yate it

What you say to a fellow human to humorously express your gratitude for his favoring you in some way. Usually said regarding a fairly-minor assistance-extending, where exceptionally "proper 'n' dignified" thanks would not usually be expected; it can also be used to lighten da mood if da circumstances surrounding da other person's helping you had been somewhat trying, tedious, exhausting, etc.

Cool dude, #1: Sorry to interrupt ya, Bud, but before you re-mount my tire, could you possibly install a longer valve-stem for my rim, so dat I could more-easily add air when necessary?
Cool dude #2, who's operating da tire-mounting machine: Sure thing, Chief! I get 'em in bulk, too, so I'll only charge ya an extra two-fifty for it.
Cool dude #1: Thanks so much, Man --- I prish-ee-yate it super-greatly!
