Of all the places alcohol is not<\/strong> served, it really seems like 35,000 feet should be one of them \ud83d\ude42 Just another air-hooligan story…nothing to see here.<\/p>\n

[update] It looks like the story I linked to changed the title to “Sag\u00f0ist vera me\u00f0 sprengju um bor\u00f0<\/strong>“…but it was originally the flugd\u00f3lgar<\/strong> title \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Flugd\u00f3lgar handteknir \u00ed Keflav\u00edk<\/strong><\/a>
\nAir-rowdies arrested in Keflavik<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier in the week police in Su\u00f0urnes arrested a couple for a disruption on board an airplane that landed at the Keflavik airport.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ah, the fun of trying to translate flugd\u00f3lgar<\/strong>…many have tried, most just punt like I did \ud83d\ude42 There isn’t really a single word in English that conveys the meaning, we usually just spell it all out like “people who caused a disturbance on a plane”… It’s nice to have all that meaning stuffed into one word \ud83d\ude42 The word d\u00f3lgur<\/strong> is in the dictionary as bully or ruffian<\/em>, which we don’t normally use in this context, but I think the main point is that it isn’t just a person causing a disturbance, but also acting in a threatening manner.<\/p>\n

The pilot decided the pair would not continue on the plane, which is owned by Irish carrier Aer Lingus. According to police the woman was especially belligerent. She was out of control, threatening, and said there was a bomb on board.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

I\u00b4m not completely sure about hafa sig \u00ed frammi<\/strong> – the dictionary has the meaning to carry one’s own weight<\/em>, which may be one meaning, but here it seems to mean that the woman was acting the worst of the two.<\/p>\n

The phrase l\u00e1ta \u00f6llum illum l\u00e1tum<\/strong> is a good one to be able to recognize. Goes great with L\u00e1ttu ekki svona!<\/strong> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

She was intoxicated and upset when police took her into custody. The man was also under the influence of alcohol, but was much calmer. A misunderstanding<\/del> An argument is said to have been the cause of the disturbance. The couple was held at the police station to sober up and set free after a report was taken.<\/em><\/p>\n

At first I didn’t catch s\u00fdnu r\u00f3legri<\/strong>, but here s\u00fdnu<\/strong> is used in a similar manner to enn<\/strong> or mun<\/strong> with a comparative, adding the meaning much<\/em>. It comes from the adjective s\u00fdnn<\/strong> – visible, clear<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And finally the phrase a\u00f0 renna af + dative<\/strong> was new for me, meaning to sober up<\/em>!<\/p>\n
