This is one of many silly sentences I heard while growing up, mainly from other Swedish kids who were learning English and finding silly similarities in words. So it's definitely deliberate.
- thaumasiotes 7y agoWhy is this a joke for Swedish speakers learning English? Does it not work just as well purely within Swedish?
- Nullabillity 7y agoGlas (glass) and glass (ice cream) have very different pronounciations that you don't really mix up. Glas has an extended a, glass sounds just about the same as in english.
- LIV2 7y agoUS English? To an Aussie bogan like me I'd pronounce the two the same usually, I have to think of the difference as how an American says glass vs how an Englishman/Aussie might say glass I haven't had the balls to try speaking Swedish yet so haven't asked to eat some glass yet
