Any takers? (English and Swedish) SemperBlotto 15:58, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t know about the English, but I think the Swedish is valid. I don’t have a Swedish dictionary, but I think truten means something like "the turkey"...and also has the slang meaning of gob, kisser. So that håll truten would mean, I believe, "shut your gob". —Stephen 17:55, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, trut (definite form: truten) is a collective term for some of the larger species of gulls, according to sv:wp (I know next to nothing about birds, though, so please don't ask any details :) ) But yes, it's also slang for mouth, and the interjection "håll truten" translates as "shut up" or "shut your gob". \Mike 17:10, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there is any way this can meet the independence clause of CFI. Just a bit of utterly unimportant fandom. Dmcdevit·t 09:50, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
