Norwegian word of the month
Yes, Norse fans, on the eve of Eurovision (will Norrya beat its 2009 record vote?)
this month's word is from Dagbladet.no :
kvitthvitt.
In the context it's used (Jamaican resorts compared to Tivoli gardens) it evidently means lily-white, but in the dicos (Nk, Dk, Sk) kvitt clearly comes from French quit.
Baffling.

Elementary, my dear Novparl. Kvitt is Nynorsk for hvite. Shoulda thoughta that.

"Kvitthvit" is a colloquial term, meaning "very white", "pale", "shockingly white". I suppose it's a variant of "kritthvit" (= white as chalk), but I'm not sure ...

We know now that the Germans easily won the day due to the total lack of patriotism by the absurd English, who habitually strut around imagining the forainers admire us for our medicocrity (sic).
