Why would they? The Swedish word exists in a completely different, ahistorical context compared to the English one. Stupid comparison.
Yeah, never mind reading the context of why I said that. Wullie wondered how the U.K compares to other Westernised countries, and I gave him one.
And let's be honest, it's not like you've got a fucking clue what the context of the Swedish word is, do you? So until you can give a better comparison, I suggest you keep your mouth firmly shut before you start patronising me.
