Howdy, cowboy! Visa nu, vad har du på din mack? Jag behöver fylla skafferiet på min truck [English]. Tuggummi, så klart, snus och chips, en låda dryck, skulle jag bli glad om jag fick. Jag drar min långtradarsång, min lastbilskörarsång, för jag har sån smak för bilar med flak. Jag drar min truckdriving song [English], tjugofyra meter lång, och jag tackar Gud för countryns alla ljud. Och om låten blir för tråkig, ja, då jag tar jag det kallt. Ja, då byter jag tonart och höjer ett halvt. Ja, jag höjer ett halvt.

1986, Claes Eriksson (lyrics and music), “Truckdriving song”, in Macken [The gas station], performed by Per Fritzell:

Howdy, cowboy! Show me now, what do you have at your gas station? I need to fill the pantry in my truck [English]. Chewing gum, of course, snus and chips [in the US sense], a case of drink, I would be happy if I got. I do [pull] my big rig song, my truck driving song, because I have such taste for cars with a flatbed [platform]. I do my truckdriving song [English], twenty-four meters long, and I thank God for all the sounds of country music ("for the country music's all sounds"). And if the song gets too boring, yes, then I stay cool [take it cool]. Yes, then I change the key and raise by a half [step]. Yes, I raise by a half [step].

der

Att vi i Sverige så påtagligt upplevde det kalla kriget måste nog tillskrivas det djupa intryck hos allmänheten, som 1980- och 1990-talens ubåtsincidenter skapade. Här skapade man framför allt i media en bild av främmande ubåtar, minifarkoster och närmast ufos, som utan motstånd trafikerade våra farvatten.

2011, Hans Wachtmeister, edited by Herman Fältström, Ytspänning: Ett seminarium om det kalla krigets verklighet [Surface tension: a seminar about the reality of the Cold War], →ISBN, page 12:

The fact that we felt the Cold War so tangibly in Sweden should probably be attributed to the deep public impression created by the submarine incidents of the 1980s and 1990s. Here, the media in particular created a picture of foreign submarines, mini vessels and almost UFOs, that travelled through our waters unimpeded.

anagnorisis

Learned borrowing from Ancient Greek ἀναγνώρισις (anagnṓrisis).

lbor

Det tredje ledet, anagnorisis, återuppståndelsen eller igenkännande som vid årsfesterna symboliseras av att trädet med sin nyutspruckna lövprakt bärs in som bevis på att livet ännu en gång återvänt, omtalas ofast enbart i mysteriespelen och ageras inte ut.

1986, Gunilla Domellöf, “Kapitel IV. Karin Boye och prosamodernismen”, in I oss är en mångfald levande, page 221:

The third element, anagnorisis, the resurrection, or recognition, which is symbolized at the annual festivals by the tree being carried in with its newly sprung foliage as evidence that life has once again returned, is most often mentioned only in the mystery plays and is not acted out.

I slutet får vi bevittna hur Fjalar, då han på höjden av sin självtillit får veta sanningen om sina barns öde, når fram till insikt om sin egen identitet. Detta sker genom yttre »anagnorisis», i Hjalmars berättelse, men främst genom inre: Avklädd sin rustning kommer Fjalar till insikt om sin maktlöshet. »Anagnorisis» kommer tematiskt och strukturellt också till uttryck som ett förhållande mellan att se och att inse.

2004, Kjell-Arne Brändström, et al., “Kung Fjalar. Kommentar av Kjell-Arne Brändström”, in Samlade skrifter XII:2, page 294:

In the end, we witness how Fjalar, when at the height of his self-confidence, learns the truth about his children's fate and comes to realize his own identity. This occurs through an outer "anagnorisis," in Hjalmar's narrative, but primarily through inner revelation: Stripped of his armor, Fjalar becomes aware of his powerlessness. "Anagnorisis" thematically and structurally also expresses a relationship between seeing and realizing.

Compound of glo (“stare”) + so (“sow”). According to SAOB attested since 1863.

Den tredje gången möter man »gloson», och elden står om munnen på henne. Gloson rusar mellan benen på vandraren, men han får inte vara rädd.

1917, Elias Grip, “Trolldom och häxeri [Witchcraft and sorcery]”, in Några bidrag till kännedom om svenskt allmogeliv [Some contributions to the knowledge of Swedish peasant life], page 138:

The third time one encounters "the gloso", and fire blazes about her mouth. The gloso rushes between the traveller’s legs, but he must not be afraid.

Föreställningen om den hedniske Gloson såsom ett vitt svin har enl. Hylten-Cavallius sannolikt givet upphov till den i Västmanland gängse tron, att det är olyckligt att ha vita svin, utan höra de, som påläggas vara svarta eller fläckiga (W. & W. 1: Tillägg s. 59). Jfr, not 45.

1925, Paul Heurgren, “Förklaring av i föregående kapitel angivna noter [Explanation of notes mentioned in the previous chapter]”, in Husdjuren i nordisk folktro [Domestic animals in nordic folklore], page 407:

The notion of the heathen Gloso as a white boar has, according to Hylten-Cavallius, likely given rise to the belief prevalent in Västmanland that it is ill-fated to keep white swine but that they ought to be black or spotted (W. & W. 1: Appendix, p. 59). Cf. note 45.

Hos alla europeiska folk har nämligen särskilt jultiden med sina långa och mörka nätter ansetts som en spöktid, då dödingar och alla slags andeväsen äro ute och färdas såsom bland andra Jerusalems skomakare och gloson för att inte tala om Odens vilda akt (se sid. 580).

1937, Louise Hagberg, “Alla själars dag [All souls' day]”, in När döden gästar. [When death visits], page 653:

Among all European peoples, Christmastide, with its long and dark nights, has particularly been regarded as a time of hauntings when the dead and all manner of spirits roam abroad, such as, among others, the Wandering Jew and the gloso, not to mention Odin’s Wild Hunt (see p. 580).

(folklore, Southern) An (often) white pig or boar with red sparking glowing eyes, large snout and fiery tusks, occasionally with a sharp serrated back and a tendency to run twixt the legs and cleave their victim.
