PSA from an Icelander in NYC: If you don’t have snow boots, put on some warm socks, put plastic bags on your feet over your socks and then put on your shoes. Tried and true. ❄️
Þetta er rosalegt!
Þetta klassíska lobster roll humarsalat er með smátt söxuðu selleríi, hef tekið þá hugmynd inn í rækjusalat, mjög gott.
Réttur sem er vinsæll hér á norðausturströnd USA eru lobster rolls sem er léttristað (á pönnu með smjöri) pylsubrauð með majones-humarsalati. Hef oft hugsað að íslenska gamla góða rækjusalatið mætti bera fram svona.
The pace is also a huge difference, we make the final, final edits and six weeks later we have a book in hand.
If you’re cracking a raw egg and putting It on the pan or in a recipe, you must crush the eggshell fully in your fist before throwing it away, otherwise a fisherman will die. Crushing the eggshell is called: saving a fisherman’s life. (Icelandic superstition.)

Oh wow, you are absolutely an Íslandsvinur!
Liquorice does not exist outside of Scandinavia. (Sorry, I don’t make the rules.)
IcelandBFF maybe!

Thrilled to see my cousin @hildur.bsky.social ‘s novel in one of my all time favorite bookstores, Three Lives & Company in New York City.
Icelandic uses various animal poop in insults. Examples: Sparðatíningur (lamb poop picking) = you’re nitpicking. Kríuskítur (arctic tern poop) = you’re super pale. Tittlingaskítur (small bird poop) = doesn’t matter/small fry. Taðskegglingur (horse poop beard) = you’ve such a bad/nonexistent beard.
They’re so dangerous!
Close your horizontal crack, lokaðu þverrifunni, in Icelandic, sounds so formal next to the Hungarian way.
Einhver stelur hráefni og selur í búð og vill svo prósentu af brauðinu sem fólk bakar úr því.
Sunnefa er svo fallegt nafn. Ætli Efa hafi verið til líka?
In Icelandic we say óþekktarormur for a bad child, it means badly behaved worm. But then we use ormur, worm, for short, which usually just means child, and can even be affectionate.
Exactly! You could even say rúsínurassgatsormur if someone is being exceptionally cute.
you know it!

Já, ég held að 2026 verði árið þar sem reykingar fara low key að laumast inn aftur.
Og já, ég er nógu 👵🏻 til að muna þegar bókstaflega allir reyktu bókstaflega allsstaðar.
Er ekki að segja að símar hafi komið í staðinn fyrir sígarettur en halló hvað er þétt fylgni á milli þess að fólk hætti að reykja og fór að skrolla í símunum sínum. Sama dæmið, eitthvað að gera með höndunum, og róa taugarnar, og vera ekki vandræðaleg á almannafæri, halló!
Ég að útskýra handbolta fyrir Ameríkönum: It's kindof like a mix of soccer and basketball, but a bit more violent.
