Footnotes
- a. Sjomli is a jokeful distortion of the word gamli (old one), this slang was most popular around 2016, mostly by self-identified cool guys to speak to their other cool guy friends. The title of this video is therefore “the Old Icelandic bro”.
- b. Mjöður (English: mead) was an alcoholic drink popular with the vikings. It is rarely if ever seen in Iceland today.
- c. He incorrectly says “mjöðið” here, but mjöður is a masculine word. Most people only see this word when reading about vikings, so few people are familiar with how the word is declined.
