Phoenix Wright saying "Oh, I assure you it's quite based."

Screenshot from the 1900 edition of "Nyare bidrag till kännedom om de svenska landsmålen ock svenskt folklif" from a list of slang words used by the youths of the day. basen: "dä va basen" = det var fint, styvt. sk. Ups. basi(g) a. bra, trevlig o. d. (jfr föreg.); "här va basit". sk. Ups. Approximate translation: the base: "that was the base" = that was nice, cool*. [the "sk." means it was schoolboy slang and "Ups." indicates it is used in the area of Uppsala.] Base(d): adjective. great, pleasant and similar (compare with previous entry.); "this is based". Also schoolyard slang from Uppsala. *the actual word used here, "styvt", means "stiff, tight", but in modern Swedish, the use of styvt as positive slang is obsolete except for in the (usually used sarcastically) somewhat archaic phrase "visa sig på styva linan", which roughly translates into "show off on the tightrope", meaning "showing off", basically.

"That is actually based."

"OK, grandpa."

"What the? Why are you calling me grandpa?"

"Because you're talking like a Swedish teenager from Uppsala in the late 19th century."

"What!?"

"You heard me."

För mig är det fisken som är vagt främmande ...

"Dös" är väl ett självklart ord? Åk till Haväng utan det, och se vad som händer! :)

He is very much not Philip Davies or Niels Peter Lemche!

It's somewhat hilarious to see certain people being very angry at Dan McClellan, Youtube's premier Biblical Studies guy, due to him often being so opposed to conservative Christian positions; he is actually rather "conservative" from a BibStud POV, especially in his datings.

Painful when you have to let go of a neat example for your proposed sound change. I still have enough for what I want, but this would have been such a good one, godsdamnit!!

And congratulations!

Hah, ok :-) Good for you!

Göttingen.

Well, that specific one could be said to sound annoyingly Afro-Asiatic too (cf. Semitic and Egyptian) :-)

The "seven" thing is interesting. Sibilants and labials galore.
