| The Power of Sex
QUOTE=PeterGustafsson;675169]Hi!
A Swedish top-level female soccer player, Elin Flyborg, was asked the question some years ago, and she responded: "Jag tycker inte om det - man blir sĺ sĺsig av det."
She was one of the few openly heterosexual females in her team at that time, and furthermore together with a guy playing on a national-level soccer team. They were asked the same question as an item, I do not know of his answer.
Let us say that that she inadvertently made a funny mental image by not checking that whether two figures of speech clashed.
A translation does not do it justice - it is so funny so that I recommend you to get a working knowledge of the language just in order to savor this one funny saying!
[/quote]
According to my Swedish in-house expert:
Translation: I don't like it - you get kinda a) drunk by it b) relaxed by it.
'Sĺsig' is not a proper word. 'Sĺs' is Swedish for sauce (as in gravy) and here it has been turned into an adjective. It is modern and not part of my vocabulary.
I think what she is trying to say is that sex makes here passively relaxed, not energetic and aggressive.
Just like in the old days, when the common wisdom was to deprive boxers of sex in the period leading up to a big fight to make them more vicious. Back in 1959 Americans were shocked when Ingemar Johansson (a Swedish heavy weight boxer) came over to NY to fight Floyd Patterson and Ingemar had his wife along living with him up until the fight, which he went on to win.

'Sĺsig' is not a proper word. 'Sĺs' is Swedish for sauce (as in gravy) and here it has been turned into an adjective. It is modern and not part of my vocabulary. | It seems as if your in-house expert has not lived in Sweden for a considerable time, and therefore does not know recent figures of speech. "Sĺsig" in the meaning that she (the soccer player) intended it means a mental state in which people (for a time) lack the highest intellectual faculties, think slowly, are relaxed, lack the ability and/or will to stop saying whatever badly thought-out ideas that pop into their heads, and are extremely amused by bad jokes, especially bad puns. This mental state is often combined with constant giggliness, and is often caused by limited amounts of alcohol, sleep deprivation, or a combination. The symptoms of aggression and delusion are incompatible with it. Quote:

However, the word "sĺs" literally sauce - has (since at least early 80ies) taken on another meaning. It is used as a noun, slang for a specific bodily fluid. Given the context, I assume that you can guess which.
So the readers got the mental image of her boyfriend as a local Peter North clone!  
See what I mean - if one has to deconstruct and explain a funny thing, it loses most of its funniness! 
Have a nice time!

Have a nice time!
Peter Gustafsson | Peter,
your wording of this has given me pause. But are you implying:
1. there were other heterosexuals on the team or in the game that were in the closet?
2. that being heterosexual was a no-no?
Just inquiring minds and all 
you have a nice time too.

I never thought I would be writing to you and I always believed the wild and sexy stories in your pages were madeup... until I attended the Senior Sectionals on Long Island. Everything I'm about to tell you is completely true ... | |

Rick | He does realize that there are just as many, if not more, male refs than female refs, right? 
Or is he too drunk to care during his little.. erm. Romps?
