 teabq: shellumbo: shellumbo: nerdwegian: shellumbo: teabq: galesofnovember: liketheghost: so is it a thing in (american) english to use “texas” as a word for like, something that’s out of control or chaotic, or as like, “crazy”? like “that party last weekend was totally texas!” because that is a thing people say in norwegian and i just think it’s important for americans to know that? this is the best thing I’ve ever heard I now want to be there when a Norwegian finds out about Texas toast. As someone who’s lived all over the US and in Texas for 10 years, that is VERY bizarre. What kind of reaction was I supposed to have upon encountering Texas toast for the first time? ‘Cause I just looked at it and went “yum.” I’m wondering if maybe she meant Texas oysters instead? Ack, I mean Rocky Mountain oysters, sorry. I meant Texas Toast. I mean if my definition of something being Texas is that it’s off the hook, then I’d have a vastly different expectations of what you’d have to do to toast in order to make it “Texas,” and almost none of them would involve it simply being a thicker slice. Ah, okay. I get it now. 
  
  
  
 But I still don’t get the Norwegians using “texas” like they do. Despite the fact that my grandfather was Norwegian. 
  
 teabq (tagging so I can respond to both you and shell in one post.) 
  
 Ah, I see how you’d think that. Norwegians are unlikely to make that mistake re: Texas toast, though. We know that Texas is a state, and (just about) all Norwegians know English. Our association would first jump to the state, before to the expression as we use it, because it wouldn’t be in the right context. 
  
 If you walked up to a Norwegian and said, “This toast is Texas,” we might wonder what you meant - and even then it would be a bit of a stretch to assume the toast was some sort of crazy toast, since our expression refers more to a state of being. It’s a poor comparison, but the closest thing I can think of is that it’s like someone coming up to you and saying, “This toast is in love.” 
  
 ???? 
  
 And if you say, “This is Texas toast,” odds are really, really good we wouldn’t be confused at all. 
  
 The expression itself has to do with associations. It’s something that brings to mind chaotic, crazy conditions, like the “wild west,” and at least back when the expression was coined, the “wild west” held very strong Texas associations. Hell, even when I was a kid in the 80s, I thought that all American cowboys came from Texas, and that’s just how it was. Texas = land of the cowboys. And rodeos. And the wild west. A Western movie? Probably from Texas. 
  
 This quote from an paper on child language development (talking about a child’s metalinguistic development) should tell you a little bit about how Norwegians can condense a state into stereotypes: 
  
 Uttrykket ”det var helt Texas på bussen i dag” gir lite mening for en som nettopp har lært at Texas er et sted med cowboyer, rodeoer og kveg. [x] 
  
 Translation: The expression “it was totally Texas on the bus today” will not mean much to someone who’s just learned that Texas is a place with cowboys, rodeos and cattle. 
  
 Here’s a few examples of the expression being used (all Norwegian links): 
  
 A Norwegian Twitter exchange, arguing that the expression, since it’s referencing a time long ago (and inaccurate when looking at modern crime statistics), should not be used anymore 
  
 The news article linked in the Twitter exchange, where the Norwegian at-the-time Blackburn manager Henning Berg uses the expression to reference the atmosphere at a soccer game. 
  
 A news article where the director of the Norwegian National Mobile Police Service uses the expression to describe the reckless behavior and driving of truck drivers in the northern parts of Norway. 
  
 The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation using the expression as a tongue-in-cheek title and reference, to their radio broadcast from SXSW. ||||| "The Mets Game last night was so Texas man. I was freaking out!" 
  
 You might not understand that sentence for a number of reasons. What are these Mets? And what makes them so Texas? Why are people freaking out?! 
  
 Well our good friends from the Scandinavian country of Norway have coined a new, bizarre slang practice; replacing the word "crazy" with "Texas." The phrase "helt Texas" means totally crazy or chaotic to Norwegians. 
  
 Some believe the trend started in the 1970s with a rise in Hollywood cowboy movies but regardless it seems to have taken full effect in 2015. 
  
 For example, this commercial in the video above from a Norwegian Pizza Restaurant uses a country-style song to promote their "crazy" deals. |||||
A:
In Norway, the idea of Texas isn't exactly nuanced. "Texas = land of the cowboys," one Norwegian Tumblr user wrote last May. "And rodeos. And the wild west. A Western movie? Probably from Texas." So it should come as no surprise that Norwegians use the word "Texas" as slang for "crazy"—and they've been doing it for, well, decades, reports Texas Monthly, with writer Dan Solomon bemusedly noting that "it’s fascinating to realize just how far and wide our fabled culture spreads." One commenter explains on Reddit that the phrase is "basically an idiom" now in Norway. "When I think of the word I picture a cowboy crashing a party and shooting two revolvers into the air. 'It's completely texas!!'" There are a few choice uses of the somewhat affectionate noun-turned-adjective floating around the Internet, notes Texas Monthly, including a former Norwegian soccer star who in 2012 described in the tabloid Verdens Gang the mood at a match as "helt texas," where "helt" means totally or completely. Even a fisherman, upon seeing a rare swordfish, told the local news, "I got to see some of it before I took up the camera. It was totally texas!" E! Online likes the idea of turning a state into a slang term based on its stereotype so much that it drew up a list of 10, including Colorado to mean "stoner," Massachusetts to mean "rude," and California to mean "fake." Which is, of course, helt texas. (Here are eight Canadian words you might not understand.)
