Today it usually means something like being ignored. During the Great Depression, the phrase was "eating air custard and wind pie"; that is, nothing to eat; going hungry.
A Swedish property-claiming practice where placing a sock on the inside door handle of a house or property establishes temporary possession, similar to squatters’ rights.
Strompa means sock or stocking, while allemansrätten is Sweden’s traditional “right of public access,” which gives people broad freedom to access and enjoy land and nature.
Joakim: “Hey, I got home from the pub and someone had placed a sock on my inside door handle?”
Leif: “Ah yes, that was me! I was using Strompa Allemansrätten to claim your property. You’ll need a court order to evict me now.”
Hym "I've never threatened any kids! I've told people exactly what would happen if I had to live like this and I've told them exactly what I would or would not do and exactly why I would do it. In explicit terms. The child deathLITERALLY couldn't be any more avoidable for you! I've basically written an instruction manual on how to get me to NOT murder the kids and YOU DID THE OPPOSITE! If it isn't me validating your status hierarchy or your moral presuppositions... YOU DON'T WANT IT! You don't give a shit whether or not I walk outside my door and neck stab the little kids that always play basketball outside my apartment! That's all 'society' cares about. Not ME. There is no duty to me you're fulfilling. It's just getting your overlords to stamp my ticket into heaven or being the abstract phantom so I don't get in the way of the solipsists (which are just those same overlords)."
