All I recall about goats in an English children’s book was it started eating the table cloth while people were eating outside, I want to say at a picnic or birthday party. I think it was a favorite at one time but I can’t recall for the life of me what it was. Just some random story with a goat eating the table cloth off a picnic table during a kid’s party. Half the things I recall may be completely incorrect too so that doesn’t help. Also from north America not true ‘English’ as much as I use their terms, though sort of half and half of those growing up from parents.

Also the only time I saw a goat later in life at my gfs dad’s place (well for the time) the goat just kept rubbing his horns up on me. I pet it of course, unsure what else to do, wasn’t being aggressive and figured some pets never hurt for those times. Plus it was just a yard goat and first thing I experienced after stepping out of the car for one minute so figured it was okay.

I guess for proper comment on the topic that’s some fun language they got there from an English view. Always wanted to check out the Nordic places, they seemed to have government and society I sort of like but not quite the location…after living in Northern Canada (ugh -40 when it gets there it doesn’t matter which scale you use, literally the same at that temp made it easy when chatting online at least in January), though assume they aren’t quite as spread out but hadn’t looked into it that closely.

“THE BOOK SAID SO!!!”

As I say everytime this comes up, the ‘g’ in “get” is soft, and pronounced “yeh’t”, and the ‘k’ in “killing” is also soft and pronounced “shilling”. Not as fun considering this. 😅

All hail the holy book of Satan. I will do as you command.

So ‘goat @ kid speed’ becomes ‘get at killing fart’ as I recall it.

I sometimes wonder if the two languages update their dictionaries just to parody each other.
