- kilodelta, on 01/09/2008, -4/+90hey, ***** the blogspam and digg the source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKEA#Product_names
- fluidfoundation, on 01/09/2008, -1/+75I got my ivar stuck in my bjorn.
- jd33, on 01/09/2008, -3/+72Dyslexics have more fnu.
- dvsbastard, on 01/09/2008, -6/+62It's simple... They do it to ***** with your head... kinda like they do with their instructions...
Thanks to IKEA I now have an irrational fear of Allen Keys... - AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -2/+43Dyslexics of the world untie!
- iammzac, on 01/09/2008, -4/+43i love IKEA!
- stotty, on 01/09/2008, -5/+37Oh my godz, I totally haxored the code of a Scandinavian-Swedish manufacturer. They use a mixture of Scandinavian words! I am soooo 1337! Woot!
- rnreekez, on 01/09/2008, -2/+30no, i think it was part of the fuktehdirexons collection
- thetin, on 01/09/2008, -0/+24I'm a proud owner of the Jerker. That is the best "desk" ever!
- jerrro, on 01/09/2008, -3/+24As the Swedish robot from Pikea (in Futurama) said: "Please enjoy your affordable Swedish crap" :)
- pixas, on 01/09/2008, -0/+20"Fartfull": swedish for "full of speed"
Jerker: swedish male name.
Lessebo: place in sweden : http://maps.google.se/maps?f=q&hl=sv&q=Lessebo,+Kr ... - jooaakim, on 01/09/2008, -0/+18weird names?!
theyre swedish names! oh and danish and norwegian but they are weird ofc. - chrisbudden, on 01/09/2008, -2/+18Those wikipedians really should get a life.
- billybob217, on 01/09/2008, -0/+15After living in Sweden for awhile and attempting to learn the language, I can honestly say that Ikea's names for their furniture makes more sense... Meaning, I now know that they use real words instead of some from a made up fairy language... But why they do this is still beyond me...
- TexMexMatt, on 01/09/2008, -1/+15But that is the beauty with IKEA. You can change your furniture for a cheap buck and redecorate every few years. That is their "thing" so to speak.
- cliffhanger407, on 01/09/2008, -0/+13Wi nøt trei a høliday in Sweden this yër? See the løveli lakes. The wøndërful telephøne system. And mäni interesting furry animals. Including the majestik møøse.
- techweenie1, on 01/09/2008, -4/+17hmm I'd really love to find some Lessebo carpeting to go with this Lessebo sofa...
- Data33, on 01/09/2008, -0/+12I always thought it was Swedish.
- JesseJ, on 01/09/2008, -0/+12The names are not weird. You are just uneducated in languages.
Speak languages or die. - WhiskeyLemur, on 06/30/2009, -0/+11It's not irrational -.-
- GhostSniper, on 01/09/2008, -1/+12I see wtah you did three
- marnaq, on 01/09/2008, -1/+11You forget the dots and rings.
* Fängebo
* Fagerås - winmywii, on 01/09/2008, -1/+11I have only been to IKEA. It is impossible to leave. I just kept following this path on the floor for hours. I think they try to rap you in there.
- LLLSecretChimp, on 01/09/2008, -1/+11Did you hear about the dyslexic who drowned? He was waiting for the school sub.
- AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -2/+11Might want to get that checked out by a doctor, it sounds really unhealthy.
- clarkd, on 01/09/2008, -1/+10Yes and no. I got a bookcase and a coffee table from Ikea almost 3 years ago. The coffee table is going strong and I love it, but the book case is utter crap. I think the secret is to avoid anything that is made of particle board.
- sodade, on 01/09/2008, -0/+9Yep - particle board furniture is stupid. It is ALWAYS worth the extra $ to buy a better material.
- bawz, on 01/09/2008, -2/+11I remember when I bought my bed at Ikea. I was searching for the Fangebo mattress (which I, of course, pronounced fan-GAY-boh)... But upon learning they were out of stock, had to settle for the Fageras (which I, of course, pronounce fag-er-ASS).
- arcooke, on 01/09/2008, -1/+10Heh.. beslut.. I don't think that's really a decision.. more just a bad upbringing.
- ekai, on 01/09/2008, -2/+10I refuse to be a slave to the IKEA nesting instinct.
- spiri, on 01/09/2008, -1/+9Yeah "bjørn" means bear in Danish and Norwegian, and it's "björn" in Swedish (since they don't use "ø").
- inactive, on 01/09/2008, -0/+8ÆØÅ. FEEL THE POWER OF MY KEYBOARD!
- sleepwalkers, on 01/09/2008, -2/+9That's particle board for you... Not IKEA's fault.
- Styleboost, on 01/09/2008, -4/+11It sounds like a gay male intercourse gone bad to me. I'm Norwegian.
- clarkd, on 01/09/2008, -0/+7Stop being a Fangebo.
- SimonGray, on 01/09/2008, -0/+7Stop messing with my head, Finnish robot man!!!
- HBNDonut, on 01/09/2008, -0/+7I bet he's a handy guy to have around...
- inactive, on 01/09/2008, -0/+6Møøse bites can be pretti nästi.
- Pixelante, on 01/09/2008, -1/+7I have a "Frack" mirror. I've got to hide it whenever I have Capricans around the house, or they'll think I'm rude.
- morningmatters, on 01/09/2008, -0/+6What's good about Ikea is the food. Swedish meatballs rock, open face shrimp sandwiches are good, and $.50 hotdogs are damn cheap.
- Radan, on 01/09/2008, -1/+7Objection! The only letters which is outside the alphabet are the letters Å, Ä, Ö and 'puzz', where the latter is mostly used by Swedish teenagers as an alternative or sometimes complement to the traditional punctuation mark.
Anyway, here's the entire list:
å ä ö Å Ä Ö
Use these symbols to create your own creative Swedish words! Only your imagination is the limit to what you may achieve!
(Disclaimer! I don't take any responsibility of any animals, children or Swedish teachers who might get harmed with the use of these symbols) - Iceduck, on 01/09/2008, -0/+6It is owned by Ingvar Kamprad, who is Swedish, through a Dutch foundation that he owns. There's probably a tax-related reason for that.
- asdfer, on 01/09/2008, -0/+6Someone named their cat for an IKEA furniture, but which one?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/37prime/750291445/ - cbartlett, on 01/09/2008, -5/+10I did, too. When I was 18 and furnished an apartment for $1,000. Eight years later, all that furniture has nearly disintegrated and I surely won't be shopping there again.
- WhiskeyLemur, on 06/30/2009, -1/+6Just to go furniture shopping? Give me a break.
- cawpin, on 01/09/2008, -2/+7What? Just because it's cheap doesn't make it cheaply made. Our kitchen table is quite nice and sturdy and will last for a long while.
- gerbco, on 01/09/2008, -0/+5I'm sure on craigslist or on Manhattan's far west side you can make a ton of money performing Billy's
- gl77, on 03/31/2008, -0/+5IT'S A TRAP!
