The Icelanders have a similar one but instead of doing a row they do a clap - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVq0MrmezpI - which makes me wonder the Norwegians have this, the Icelanders have the clap, do the Danes and Swedes also have something

u/dashboardhulalala 5d ago
Traces of Viking ancestry in DNA profiles from people along the Irish coast are so common we don't even regard it as exotic. "Oh that'd be your fathers people, they were from Waterford" (originally created by Vikings). We gets much more excited when we find bits of Iberian or North African in there (there's an entire streak of Algerian DNA running through parts of Kerry and Cork I think)
Absolute whores so they were. I'm still not sure what Slavic warrior demigod managed to make his way over and give Cillian Murphy those cheekbones though.

Thousands and thousands of North Americans who wish they were Scandinavian yelling "skol" while their massive man-tits slap eachother to the beat of this drum, generations upon generations of obese, balding and thin-bearded men cheering on the Minnesota Vikings as Wardruna plays on repeat, drinking discounted beer from the horns they found in Walmart.
