sv:Slamkrypare (redskap)
sv:Slamkrypare (skor)
sv:slamkrypare

Compound of slam (“sludge”) + krypare (“crawler”). First attested in 1876.
* The trick question sense originates from an incident during the 1957 quiz show Kvitt eller dubbelt. The question required the contestant (Ulf Hannerz) to identify which fish, out of a selection, had eyelids. The contestant answered "mudminnow," but the judges expected slamkrypare (“mudskipper”) and eliminated the contestant. However, since mudskippers don't "blink" using eyelids the question itself was disputed by experts, as no truly correct answer ever existed. The contestant was allowed to return and continue the following week.
* The boot sense; as this type were worn by the contestant mentioned above.

com+

(informal) A type of winter ankle boot made of textile, featuring a rubber sole and front-facing zipper.
