A swedish word that's allegedly untranslatable. But it basically means ''not too little not too much just right'' However, even if it sounds like it, it doesn't mean balanced or moderate, it has a more satisfying tone to it, but at the same time not ideal or excellent. If something is lagom it's not ideal but rather preferably and at the same time acceptable. Kind of ideal but in a lazy kind of way.
''Yo Tommy, was the coffee too strong?''
''No Dave, it was lagom.''

A Swedish word that describes an amount. It originates from the vikings. If they only had one cup to drink beer from, it was passed around the table, and each person should only drink an amount that made sure everybody would get some (Laget om = For everyone in the team). Therefore the amount is not always the same. If they had a lot of beer, they could drink more and the other way around. Basically it means "the perfect amount". However it has been defined (as a student prank) in the city of Lund, Sweden so you can actually go there to find out the exact definition...
- How much food do you want?

- Lagom (i.e. not too much, not too little)

- How far are we walking?
- Lagom

Lagumera 

1.The Lagumera originated as a club dance in Southern England. The move consisted of slow, enticing movements involving both the arms being in the air or to the side. Occasionally the two arms would meet in a clap above the head before the dancer would lower the hands in time to the music. Most of the movements are fluid and repetitive.

2.Lagumera is used in Norfolk and Suffolk to describe something of Venus like beauty. It can be an object, person or animal. Often golden, glistening, shimmering and summer themed. It's essence is often floral with gold bar undertones. Lagumera evokes the idea of a venus like sea creature basking in the sun in a golden cave-a demi-god.
Guy 1-Hey look at the girl in the sun. Her blonde hair is glistening, she kind of reminds me of a golden goose. I wonder if she flies into the sun at night.

Guy 2-Yeah she's a lagumera. I bet she can do the dance and everything.
