Can one of our super-awesome Scandinavian folks help me here? Looking for translations of the following in Danish and/or Swedish:

Business Inelligence
Asshats


Thanks!

I used Google translator for both languages and there doesn't seem to be a difference.

Exactly! Both languages have borrowed English words, and sometimes letter-usage. My interest lies more in regional usage or slang that would not be covered via translators.

I am fairly certain that the Danish translation for "asshat" is "Swede" and the Swedish translation is "Dane".

You're in luck, I can actually help on the asshat one, mainly because it's on my personal list of bad translations in movies, so I can remember the fuckup they made out of that one. One danish movie managed to translate "asshat" to "røvbanan" which literally means ass banana".

Woohoo!!! That works well. Shouldn't it be røvhatte though? I probably fucked that spelling up.

I suppose nobody bothered to make fun of B.I. folks. I am glad to make headway in that area.

ASSBANANA!

Røvhatte is the correct, literal translation. But yeah, røvbanan (røvbananer in the plural) is an actual derogatory word - although one you'd be more likely to hear in a playground or spoken ironically-hipster-pseudo-cool-like.

Another good one is dickbiscuit = pikansjos (literally dick anchovy).

Business Intelligence is a bit oxymoronic, isn't it? Do you mean as in business acumen/savy or as in omfgspying?

Thanks!

As far as Business Intelligence, they are business/technology bridges who analyze and aggregate data. Whenever you hear about Data Warehouses, OLAP Cubes and Data Mining--those are the people.

The ones I have to deal with are pretty much assbananas.

Business Intelligence is called Business intelligence really, never heard it called anything else in the companies I have worked for. Sometimes we just don't bother coming up with translations for english words and use them.

In that case, I will supply the new Danish nomenclature for business intelligence.

Offentligt toilet

Asshat is a word/title that is entirely developed by the Americans, and is too awesome to be translated. (loses it's awesomeness)

But one might say that Asshat is also Idiot, Retard, Moron, Nincompoop, Incompetent Fool yes?

Or is Asshat more of a "Douchebaggy" nature?

Well in swedish, Ass is Rumpa or Röv and Hat is well, Hatt.

Rumphatt or Rövhatt loses it's awesomeness entirely by translating word for word.

I will definitely be insulting some friends with 'dick anchovy' this week.

Once again, Business Intelligence = pikansjos.

Seriously...
