ref

inspicient in Svenska Akademiens ordbok (SAOB)

När vi flyttade tillbaka igen, fick jag frågan om jag vill prova på att vara inspicient. Det ville jag och fick gå som lärling en tid hos en annan inspicient innan jag fick min första egna produktion, som var Pelle Snusk, på Studion, hösten 2002. […] I Sverige finns det ingen utbildning för inspicienter. Förmodligen beror det på att arbetet varierar på de olika teatrarna. De flesta inspicienter skolas in i yrket genom utbildning internt.

2017 January 5, Inger Duberg, “Johan har full koll på scenen [Johan has full control of the stage]”, in Göteborgs-Posten:

When we moved back again, I was asked if I want to try being an stage manager. I wanted that and had to apprentice for a while with another stage manager before I got my first own production, which was Der Struwwelpeter, at Studion, in the autumn of 2002. […] In Sweden, there is no school for stage managers. It is probably because the work varies in the different theatres. Most stage managers are trained in the profession through in-house training.

Han spelar i lifvet ungefär samma roll som en gammal inspicient gör på teatern. Han visar sig aldrig på scenen, men är oumbärlig bakom kulisserna, kan alla rollerna utantill, och gör tecken åt skådespelaren, när det är tid för honom att lägga sitt ansikte i ordning för entrén, […]

1894, Tor Hedberg, Farbror Agathon med flere noveller, page 105:

He plays in life much the same role as an old stage manager does at the theater. He never appears on the stage, but is indispensable behind the scenes, knows all the parts by heart, and makes signs to the actor, when it is time for him to put his face in order for the entrance, […]

Ankeborg är sinnebilden för myten om hur den liberala ekonomin fungerar. Uttryck som ”Börsen jobbar sig uppåt” eller ”Låt dina pengar jobba i en fond” vill lura oss att tro att alla kan bli rika bara de spekulerar.

Duckburg is the epitome of the myth of how the liberal economy works. Expressions such as "The stock market works its way up" or "Let your money work in a fund" want to trick us into believing that everyone can get rich just by speculating.

Tiden då man kunde betrakta klimatet som en enskild miljöfråga, som miljörörelsens fråga, eller som viktigt att kämpa för först efter att den samlade politikerklanen i Sveriges Ankeborg, mitt skämtsamma namn på riksdagen, fått kvacka färdigt med fossilsubventioner – den tiden är förbi.

Clipping of buskteater, busk- here meaning outside (see buske), + -is. First attested in 1959.

– Det som drog mig lite till det var också att bland de som kommenterar buskisen, kritiker till exempel, ses den som ganska dålig och har en negativ klang, medan bland utövare och publik ses den som något väldigt positivt; det lockar en stor publikskara och är väldigt populär.

2020 July 2, Marcus Bornlid Lesseur, “Buskis – ny bok om en genre som är både hatad och älskad”, in Sveriges Radio:

- What drew me to it was also that among those who comment on the farcical open-air theatre, critics for example, it is seen as quite bad and has a negative connotation, while among practitioners and audiences it is seen as something very positive; it attracts a large audience and is very popular.

(colloquial, theater) A slapstick or farce played outside.

Compound of Midgård (“Midgard”) + -s- + orm (“snake”) + -en (“the”). Borrowed from Old Norse Miðgarðsormr, ultimately from Prose Edda (c. 1220). First attested in 1747.

ref

Midgårdsormen in Svenska Akademiens ordbok (SAOB)

Ty det var ingen sådan katt, som det syntes dig: det var egenteligen Midgårdsormen, som ligger omkring all land: knappt hade han längd, att stjert och hufvud räckte till jorden, och du lyftade den så högt upp, att det var blott kort till himlen.

1819, Snorre Sturlasson, translated by Anders Jacob Cnattingius, Snorre Sturlesons Edda. Samt Skalda, page 62:

For it was not such a cat as it seemed to you: it was actually the Midgard Serpent, which lies around all the land: he was long enough that his tail and head barely fit the earth, and you lifted him up so high that he was only short to the sky.

(Norse mythology) the Midgard Serpent; the Jörmungandr
