Kokoroki my great aunt uses "CLICKER" to refer to remote control to the tv.she's the only person who would say that I hate to disappoint you but a LOT of people say "clicker" for remote control. I hear it all the time. I have never heard "flimmer" though. My fiancé says it sounds very 80s.

Angel Keato But before hand. I wanna know how to say a few things. All you really need to know to get around: hej = hi jeg kigger bare = I'm just looking tak = thank you wink Seriously, I went an embarassingly long time only saying that much in public. It's really hard, because as soon as people figure out you speak English they just start speaking that to you and you don't get any practice. So I didn't want anyone to know I spoke English, but I couldn't say very much in Danish... kind of a catch-22.

Agurk means cucumber. It can be used the same way as "to go bananas" means crazy in English. "Han gik agurk" == "he went bananas."
Some jutlanders might pronounce it like &gurk, but it's spelled agurk wink

Some jutlanders might pronounce it like &gurk, but it's spelled agurk wink CUCUMBER is the LITERAL TRANSLATION I think that's exactly the point he was making. I already knew what agurk means but I hadn't seen it spelled ågurk and I hadn't heard it used in that way.

(i go crazy) Jeg er ågurk (I am Crazy) btw I was just telling her that I don't think anybody actually says "Jeg er agurk" just like nobody says "I am bananas." It sounds very strange to my Danish ears. Agurk, like bananas, is only something you go or went, not something you are or were. And just to keep the Danish correct here so other people can learn it wink the first person singular conjugation of "at gå" (to walk) is "går." At gå: Jeg går Du går Han/hun/den/det går Vi går I går De går

Sorry, in this context "at gå" of course means "to go" not "to walk." It does, however, mean "to walk" in other contexts. Sorry for the confusion.
