"älgtest" meaning in All languages combined

See älgtest on Wiktionary

Noun [Swedish]

Etymology: Calque of German Elchtest, coined by the German press in 1997 after a Mercedes-Benz had overturned at 60 km/h (less than 40 mph) during the Swedish standard test simulating an evasive maneuver. The obstacle was then identified as an elk as a Swedish stereotype, typically of tabloid humour. The original Swedish name, used for decades but now all but displaced, was undanmanöverprov.
