Skarpi,

Thanks! This is a wonderful thread---once again.

I have a question. In your note to your friend, you used the word "pig". What does that word mean in Iceland? Here, of course, it means: 1) a barnyard animal. 2) it means a person who is not neat---a bore--a glutton. 3) In the 1960s in the USA, a time of turbulance and youthful rebellion, it was a very negative term for the police.

Again, thank you.

Art Thieme
