The verb thorbjorning means to give someone their reward before they have accomplished what they set out to do. The verb was originally coined by New York Times columnist Yoni Brenner in 2009, when Thorbjørn Jagland, a Norwegian politician and chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Barack Obama for his good intentions rather than any actual accomplishments. The deadline for nominations for the prize was only 11 days after Obama was sworn in as President. Thorbjørn Jagland was ridiculed for his decision and described as a fool by politicians like Alexander Downer and much of the world press, and the award as an embarassment to Obama. In the past Jagland was also often ridiculed in Norway for his statements and actions, including his ultimatum that his cabinet would resign if his party received less than 36.9% of the popular vote in 1997, which it subsequently did, and quotes like "We will come again, yes, we are here already", "We put the foot down and stand on it" and "I usually don't look backwards, nor do i look forward".

Get the Fredrik Thordendal mug.The agent providing a complete social, sportive and professional calendar animating a massive community of friends and believers in an emotional but generous, bullying but jovial, manner. With the power and fury of the red-headed God of Thunder in pagan Norse and Germanic mythologies, the character of the individual acting as thorganizer provides the primary and princpal share of the emotional driving and binding forces behind the group, as he both feeds on and amplifies the social and affective energies at the core of the group's dynamics. By definition, precedence and practice, communities supported by a thorganizer span both borders and continents; expatriates are most common members, although "locals" are both welcomed and loved. (The British version of this term "thorganiser" is not orthographically correct, although forgiven.)
"Although the thorganizer is momentarily out of contact, the Ultimate Frisbee team planned a match in the Balkans, met for a music festival in Norway and re-united for skiing in Canada."
