[edit] Moist?

parties where snapsvisor are sung usually end up rather moist

parties, which are notoriously moist

I don't recognize this use of the word "moist"! Presumably what is meant is "drunken"? -- Picapica 9 July 2005 14:40 (UTC)

Happy, inebriated, loose, and jovial would probably all suffice as appropriate synonyms (as well as of course drunken). Although, drunken is perhaps most dead-on, it lacks a little in the subtilty of "moist" But I agree, "moist" is not acceptable use of English. Sfdan 9 July 2005 15:24 (UTC)

Tak, Sfdan. A couple of correspondingly not-too-over-the-top euphemisms in English (British English, at least) are "merry" and "tipsy". I'll try to incorporate them. -- Picapica (PS - In my experience, if you want to gå ud efter øl in Denmark, you'd better go first to the bank, or to Germany. Or have prices got any more reasonable lately in DK?)

Hej Picapica-- Contrary to rumours, prices on beer (øl) and spirits (spiritus) have been going down statistically in Denmark, and is cheaper than ever. But there has certainly been an old tradition for certain "thirsty" individuals to go all the way to Germany for cheaper beer (especially in southern Jutland), or go to Denmark to buy a cheaper beer from, for example, Malmö. Personally I don't drink much beer so I don't really notice this sort of thing, but I have asked around a bit. So come to Denmark for your next beer— its very likely cheaper than buying it in one of the other Scandinavian lands. ;-) Sfdan 14:30, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
