    IKEA names are rarely just the word for the thing, maybe it could be called “SNUBBLA”, “NEKA”, or “MALMÖ”?

      It’s sometimes city names. For instance IKEA’s doormats are in large part named after Danish towns. Eg “lohals”, “klampenborg”, “køge” and “østerild”, except instead of just wiping their feet on us, they even insist on using that stupid German ö instead of the proper ø.

      Fuck you, you drunken Swedes! If it hadn’t been for NATO we would have taken Skåne, Halland, and Blekinge… And Norway while we were at it!
