Ya, I get it that this is the whole joke of the post, but I'm bemused to discover that I'm a slutt datafag.
I had not anticipated climbing to such a pinnacle in my lifetime.

[–] ChristerMLB@piefed.social 60 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

I have never heard anyone call computer science "datafag", it's usually called "informatikk" (like "informatics" which you can also say in English), and "slutt" just means end or stop, I have never heard anyone use it to refer to graduating.

"Fag" does mean "subject" or "field of study", though, so computer science is a "fag", and it might be considered a "realfag" along with the natural sciences, I don't know.

Edit: I got corrected below, "datafag" is real

Keep in mind this is Google translate

What newfags and oldfags? Can one triforce while the other cannot?

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Shit... now I want to know what triforcing is

It doesn't matter. You wouldn't be able to do it anyway.

[–] Benign@fedia.io 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My dad did 'datafag' some 50 years ago, at least I think they called it that. It was the era of 'hullkort' (punchcards). Also I think it should be sluttdatafag all in one word. I seem to remember some old folks referring to graduate degrees as sluttfag. I dont think anyone has ever put 'data' in the middle there though. Sounds like AI hallucination.

Ah, cognate to the German „Fach“ and the English “fact”. That makes sense.

[–] OddMinus1@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

To pull you back just a little "slutt datafag" is an expression for the subject which you are graduating. Or maybe google reads it as a verb + noun, since "slutt" means "stop" or "end" and assumes that "end" means "graduate" in this context. Anyways I don't think it makes sense as a description for a person.

But you are free to call yourself a "fagperson". This is a very common phrase to describe a person with education.

[–] dbtng@eviltoast.org 3 points 1 week ago

Oh sure. I get to be a slutt datafag for 6 hours, and then you come along and ruin it. Thanks!

[–] Pissmidget@lemmy.world 46 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Bottom one is more stop/end computer class, does not imply graduation, though fag is generally used as tradecraft. Which makes the books you use for it fag literature.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Btw, where did faggot come from?

[–] onipa@feddit.org 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Faggot is apparently a bundle of sticks (formerly a burdensome baggage)

apparently kid

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Also the totally appropriate name for the bassoon in some languages, because it looks like a pile of sticks.

Fag in Norwegians has norse origins while faggot developed independently and only recently become a slur and come out of American vernacular.

In older English it was used to mean a burdensome person and it's sort of resumed that meaning as it's now often used to mean someone who is annoying.

Adding a fun double entendre when used to describe a homophobic person.

As a Norwegian, I can confirm.

Since putting in the effort to make it, I had to talk myself out of setting it as a custom BIOS logo on a PC at work.

Just wait until you hear about the swedish slutstation

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 week ago

It's the biggest competitor to Sony's PlayStation

[–] whoneedsgravy@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago

I ride the bus to the slutstation every day.

Swedes don't count - from a Norwegian

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

This is true. I'm like half Swedish, and I am a musician. I do not count. I listen for my cue and learn the tune instead of counting rests.

My boss put me on inventory once when I kept coming up with a different number of mops in the storeroom.

For the record, we had one.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Can confirm. You can't count.

On graduation, you get a fursuit

[–] audaxdreik@pawb.social 7 points 1 week ago

Common misconception, the fursuit helps your chances of graduating. Kind of a survivorship bias, thing. Once saw a guy get dragged down the hall and FNAFed into a wolf suit. She's happy now.

[–] mastertigurius@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Just wait till you hear about popular Norwegian names, like Simen (pronounced exactly the way you think).

Also make sure you mind your fart when on the road. Norwegian police are quite strict about that and could give you a fartsbot if you don't comply.

[–] myyass@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

lol reminds me of when I worked in education; there was this hearing impaired kid. On the playground they're playing shop, his dad must have been a construction worker or something. He yells at the top of his voice, does anyone want to buy some Simen (He was trying to say cement)? We, staff, had to discuss should we let him know or not, went with just laughing it off.

Slutt is end not graduate

[–] onipa@feddit.org 9 points 1 week ago (4 children)

If you pronounce "fag" like a Dutch, a German would here "Fach" which translates to (school-)subject

[–] ChristerMLB@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago

yep, or "field of study", so if you study in Norway, students who study the same might arrange a "fagfest" together, and a skilled worker is often known as a "fagarbeider"

[–] fenrasulfr@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

In Dutch it would be vak.

The irony is i was a total slut for both data and sex

[–] SourDragon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Does that mean I became a slutt on graduation day?

[–] vandsjov@feddit.dk 3 points 1 week ago

A work slutt

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Datafag Slut sounds like some kink. Kinkshaming is not nice.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Are you sure that English isn't the weird one here?
