We cleaned the house today. One of the things we used was the vacuum cleaner.
I had a talk with Daniel about Swedish, English, and the word for vacuum cleaner. In Swedish, it is called dammsugare, which litterally means dust sucker. If you speak a mix of Swedish and English, sometimes called Swenglish, you could jokingly translate dammsugare to damn sugar. This would be funny. When you use the vacuum cleaner, you move around and lose weight, but if you would really use damn sugar, you would probably gain weight. Human languages can be funny.
