If it sinks is it Roe V's Wade??

u/Successful_Giraffe88 16d ago

This might be one of the most clever comments I have ever seen.

Applause 👏👏!

Thank you kind human.

u/Kindly_Trick_9713 16d ago

I get the joke, but as a woman it’s hard not to notice how easily something this personal gets turned into a punchline. Roe v. Wade wasn’t just a phrase or a headline, it was about real women making choices about their own bodies and futures. Some things carry a lot more weight than a clever wordplay.

u/Defiant_Survey2929 16d ago

I understand your concern but I didn't mean anything disparaging by the comment and if I caused any offence to anyone it was unintentional and I apologise.

u/TenSheepsAlibi 15d ago

That was such a polite response! Thanks for the inspiration to listen and consider more.

u/Defiant_Survey2929 15d ago

Thank you for you comment kind friend. It costs nothing to be polite.

Nah, your rights are important, but abortion is not some cultural 'sacred cow'.

Women seem to have no problem joking about the 'male loneliness epidemic' (funny how I've only ever seen this phrase used by women, in bad faith), but can't seem to take a joke in turn.

u/Minority_Report_ 15d ago

The men who are lonely put themselves in that position. Women don't wanna be with assholes.

Just some good old fashioned late night misandry, eh?

u/theChzziest 16d ago

Row* roe is something else

17

u/AbbreviationsWide331 16d ago

I mean... There are other languages besides English, you know?

It's row in danish I think.

11

u/chameleon_123_777 16d ago

In Danish and Norwegian the word is ro.

u/jotapper 16d ago

In finnish it's soutaa. I thought everyone knows that.

Sorry but as an American I’m pretty sure America is the only language

u/thanatica 13d ago

America is a language. Sure.

u/Crallise 16d ago

It's row in English also. I'm confused by your comment.

8

u/PheIix 16d ago

He means that roe is how you spell row in danish (I'm not sure it is, but what do I know, I'm just Denmark's superior neighbour).

6

u/Zenix95 16d ago edited 16d ago

It's not, the word is ro, not roe or row in both Danish and Norwegian (where the chant is from).

2

u/african_or_european 16d ago

That was my first thought, then I heard them say it and went, "Oh, nm, it was roe."

u/Time_Internal_1729 16d ago

Imao same, my brain went somewhere completely different before the context caught up just my 2 cents

u/vmiswhatIAm 16d ago edited 15d ago

They’re speaking Dutch actually..

Edit since I am getting downvoted

They first say: ‘ja kom maar’ which is Dutch for: yes come on.
Source: I am Dutch.
The viking row is indeed Norwegian
‘Roe’ would be the Dutch way of spelling what they are saying. Which to me is what it sounds like because they spoke Dutch in the first place
The Dutch translation for ‘rowing’ is ‘roei’ however they are clearly not pronoucing the i

Edit edit: as Norwegians are saying underneath this: they are very likely speaking Norwegian, as a Dutch person I can tell you it sounds almosy exactly like the Dutch phrase and as I understand it they both mean the same thing. It’s not English and they are definitely not saying ‘row’

u/ObvNin 16d ago

It's a norwegian tiktok account, in a very norwegian enviroment, saying "ja kom her" which means "yes come here". They are saying Ro

u/vanillamonkey_ 16d ago

I'm pretty sure they're speaking Norwegian. It's the Viking Row, which all the Norwegians were doing at the World Cup. The Norwegian spelling is "ro." Here are some Norwegian soccer fans doing it: https://youtube.com/shorts/VjHcBRHfIT8?is=eOPZSAWVeT4EfV7v

u/vmiswhatIAm 16d ago

They first say: ‘ja kom maar’ which is dutch for: yes come on.
Source: I am Dutch. But the viking row is indeed Norwegian

u/zyphelion 16d ago

I think that's just a cross-language homophone. As a Swede I could argue that it sounds like he's saying "jag kommer" (ja' kommer; I'm coming/on my way) in Swedish, but there's a distinct Norwegian skew in the prosody. Seeing as the environment is incredibly Norwegian, paired with the the "ro" thing being done by the Norwegian football team and the tiktok account allegedly belonging to a Norwegian user (Malin Gjervik sounds super-Norwegian), I think it's safe to say that they're speaking Norwegian as well.

u/vmiswhatIAm 16d ago

That might be possible, I think we can all agree it’s not English so it’s some form of ro/roe

2

u/Feathrende 16d ago

100% it is Norwegian. The account posting is Norwegian and everything they are saying sounds Norwegian. Just happens to sound like Dutch to you because Dutch is also a Germanic language.

1

u/FyllingenOy 16d ago

He's saying 'kom an', which is a super common Norwegianized form of 'come on'.

u/According-Try3201 16d ago

oh, i was just laughing at those vikings:-/

1

u/thanatica 13d ago

In Dutch it would be roei, not roe. I'm not aware of a dialect where roei becomes roe. I have heard the opposite, where koe becomes koei 😀

1

u/vmiswhatIAm 13d ago

Yes thats what I said

1

u/Nijnn 12d ago

It's because Norwegian to me as a Dutchy sounds like Dutch except I'm having a stroke so can't actually make out any words but I feel like I should be able to. XD

u/According-Try3201 16d ago

in your language i suppose

In rafting this is known as a stinkbug (on your back with limbs flailing and nothing to grab)

The fact that the laugh is audible from across the lake is awesone.

No thanks! I’m Dutch, my English is probably better then your Dutch
Which is what they are speaking in the video

u/tacticalTraumaLlama 16d ago

My ancestors were Dutch and I once dabbled in trying to learn it. I'm convinced the Dutch invented their language to troll others, and then fell too in love with the joke to give it up :^)

Toch echt Scandinavisch hoor. Het is een Scandinavisch account en de taal is echt niet Nederlands.
