1. (Noun) A group of seafaring reavers, raiders, traders, and pirates that marauded all across Europe in the 8th-10th centuries, in varied locations such as the eastern coast of England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain. Primarily of Norse ancestry.
They were tactically fond of lightning raids for booty, known as the "strandhogg" in Old Norse, followed by just as swift retreats back into safe waters. Due to the decentralized, nigh-anarchic structure of Continental European and English governments at the time, these vicious raids went practically unchallenged; before a local lord could muster his warband and ride to the beleaguered settlement, the raiders were long gone with whatever slaves, valuables, and livestock they could pilfer.
Not every Norseman was a Viking, and not every Viking was a Norseman.
2. (Adjective): Of, or pertaining to, the Vikings.
3. (Verb, Old Norse): To go raiding, plundering, and generally causing mayhem.
4. (Noun): The Minnesotan NFL team.

"Truly, we are doomed! God help us!"

Get the Viking mug.When you're smoking a cigarette while taking a dump, and you lift up your junk and toss the butt into the bowl, and it lands on top of your turd and keeps burning. The only solution to this tragic epic is to give the fallen warrior an expedited trip to Valhalla through the boiling kettle of Hymer, i.e., a courtesy flush.
I was smoking in the john this morning, and I got a Viking funeral. I had to give it a quick flush before it totally stunk up the place.
