mostlygray posted:MN is a short form and $20. No questions asked. Just have the minister/pastor/priest/justice of the peace/a cat sign it and it's done. Super easy. IMO the advent of nearly 100% accurate paternity testing has eliminated 90% of the societal reasons for having marriage be a thing. The other 10% is couples having the legal power to make medical decisions in the case their partner gets incapacitated, etc. Not that I'm against marriage or anything, but I think in the future the percent of unmarried couples with children is just going to get higher and higher. So they might as well make marriage absurdly easy, because it really doesn't matter anymore.

I got legally married to my fiancee shortly after the engagement, so that she could get on my insurance and for the sweet tax break. We broke up before the actual wedding would have happened, but still came out ahead after paying for a no-assets no-kids divorce.

We also call it "laattaa"; lay tiles, and "yrjötä"; being named Yrjö. A real Finnish name some are blessed with.

Here in Iceland I'm not aware for any euphamism for vomitting but a fun euphamism for pooping is ,,tefla við páfann" or "playing chess with the Pope".

I think it's because you sit for a while and really concentrate on a single task as if playing chess against a difficult opponent. Which the Pope would presumably be

In Serbian it's "to throw an iron," as in a clothes iron.  I've read some explanations but they sound... unlikely. "Before widespread use of electricity, people would use clothes irons which were hollow and loaded with hot coals. Those would give off noxious fumes, forcing them to eventually toss away the iron and vomit." I guess it's possible it came from more than 100 years ago, but I find it more likely it was started by a random group of friends who thought it was just a funny thing to say. There's also "to sing Rigoletto," which is simply onomatopoetic.

Swedish is the refined, gentlemanly Scandinavian language. Like upper-class British English. In this simile Norwegian is Scottish English. Danish is Welsh. Straight Welsh. Just replace the consonants with vocals.
