Fredagsmys is pretty much the most holy tradition of Sweden. The word origins from two words; “fredag” and “mys”, which roughly translates to Friday and cozy. Every Friday, all Swedes drive by the supermarket to buy ingredients for taco, soda and chips. Then, they all sit down in their sofas with their families or friends and watch telly. Usually, the parents fall asleep after a few glasses of wine or beer while the kids stuff themselves with chips until they have a stomach ache.
Lets get through Thurdagmys first.
SC, how did tacos make their way into this revered Swedish practice?

No. Incel means a lot more than that. The word simply comes from that phrase, but it's not simply a word that applies to people who can't get laid. The connotations of the word go much deeper and are much more sinister, and the term does represent what can now be considered a self-identified movement that is essentially a men's hate movement against women (although they hate men who can get laid too). And it is rapidly becoming a terrorist movement as well.
Shame what it has turned into, as that was not the initial intention.

If you visit a Swedish family for a weekend, don’t be surprised if they give you tacos for dinner. Don’t mistake it for the Mexican dish with the same name. There are of course several similarities between the Mexican and Swedish versions, but someone from Mexico would probably not agree with the way we are eating it here in Sweden. What we here in Sweden call tacos probably reminds you more of American Tex-Mex. If you consider how popular the dish has been in the last 20 years, then tacos is most likely competing to become the Swedish National Dish.
Tacos were introduced to the Swedish population in 1982. That’s when Old El Paso first attempted to break into the Swedish market. They did not have much success that first time. In 1991 Santa Maria (Nordfalks) joined the race with increased marketing to change the behavior of the Swedes. The explosion came at the end of the 90’s and beginning of the new millennium. It had taken several years, but the dish had eventually grown into what is today one of the most common weekend meals in Sweden.

She's back in Sweden and wanted to catch some movie at the Gothenburg International Film Festival. But for whatever reason it didn't happen.
Maybe beer next week instead.
Also won't happen.
Ofc it will. Carrying my child, that is what will not happen.
I'm saying it won't happen next week. Since you asked her out, you've ignored beer time with her all together (her trip to NK aside). Always finding a reason not to meet with her. I hope you do meet up with her next week though. This thread is in dire need of some fresh Agnes stories!

Yeah, maybe I've been a bit "gunshy" since then.
But will find some time to meet her.

What happened with the freaky spa you were supposed to go to?
She found a ride to the race, so she didn't need to stay in Varberg (where the Lenin spa is located).
I met her up here in the city afterwards and we went to IKEA.
At IKEA we shared a "Semla":
Creamed buns?
The semla – a small, wheat flour bun, flavoured with cardamom and filled with almond paste and whipped cream – has become something of a carb-packed icon in Sweden. The traditions of semla are rooted in fettisdag(Shrove Tuesday, or Fat Tuesday) when the buns were eaten at a last celebratory feast before the Christian fasting period of Lent.

They look like cream puffs - but the description is a bit more elaborate.

I know, right? Kind of a jerk move. Did we make 1 too many KISS or butt jokes?

This wasn't an Agnes encounter.
This was another person.

Uggghhh! God, not me. I am one of those former smokers that smokers hate. I don't look down on anyone who does it, just so long as they don't do it within close proximity of me.
Does Agnes smoke?
