I prefer it when it doesn't matter that much, but is plain funny. :-) Tommy,

The (male) news anchor is reporting about a horrible plane crash, and he's about to say that the rescue team is still hoping to <em>find</em> more survivors. (Or maybe that they've given up hope, I can't remember.) In mid-sentence, he can't make up his mind about whether to say 'finna' or 'hitta' (both words mean 'find' in Swedish). You can probably guess the result... :) The poor guy realises what he's said, so he tries again... and again.... I'm really impressed that he managed to remain so calm throughout the whole thing.

No, not really... :-) Jules, Oh man, that must've been terrible! :-) Jeena, Absolutely true, maybe "pussy" was a bit nice. "Cunt" sounds like the best translation, "fitta" is a fairly harsh word. Faruk,

Yes, I know! :-)

Robert W,

Jeena,

Absolutely true, maybe “pussy” was a bit nice. “Cunt” sounds like the best translation, “fitta” is a fairly harsh word.

He was asked about how does he deal with his sexual urges and he responded saying that they have to learn to suppress them but sometimes <strong> it gets really hard!</strong> Can you imagine how red he turned at the time?
