Fjords, Norway, and the English Language

by lovablegeek

Matt would rather talk about funny foreign words than work. [Drabble]

"What do you think about fjords?"

"Fjords? Like in Norway?"

"Is that where fjords are?"

"Somewhere like that. I think I'm more or less neutral toward fjords..."

"I'm just saying, fjord is a funny word."

"Yes, it is. Is this going anywhere?"

"Probably not. I'd just like you to appreciate the oddities of the English language."

"Fjord isn't English."

"...No."

"I'd imagine it's Norwegian."

"Yes."

"Took the wind right out of your sails, didn't I?"

"Yes."

"Sorry."

"Oh, it's okay. I'll just sit here with my wounded pride and think of other funny foreign words you won't appreciate."

"Or you could do your job."

"Yeah, but do you think that's gonna happen?"

"Nah."

"Me neither."
