I would like to apologise to all Danes for spilling the beans on this but

Jeans are referred to as "cowboybukser" (cowboy pants) in Danish

By extension, all denim clothes are cowboy-whatever in Danish

As a result of this, my partner's washing machine has a setting that's only labelled "Cowboy"

@anarchiv it's not like they had to charge the washing machine, which is already the most bawdy household appliance, with any more sexual energy

@schratze Schratze's Washing Machine Takes: A Whole Thing

@anarchiv it's the only device that has implements as a vibrator AND a bondage rack

Souvlaki Space Station ๐Ÿ›ธ

@schratze I never really understood how the latter is supposed to work but I trust your expertise, and that of the porn industry

@schratze @anarchiv AND once you're done it can help remove any stains!

@schratze @anarchiv Mind you, all of the above might also apply to a hoover, with the added bonuses of portability and possibly a face

@schratze @anarchiv 'bondage rack' wait how? like an over under? i mean idk if those things are really built or mounted for that kind of moment load but i guess i can sorta see it, if it isn't that then i definitely have no idea

schratze

@alexis @anarchiv yeah no I'm actually just talking about the obnoxious porn trope

Alexis, FRIEND OF HORNET

@schratze @anarchiv one more thing for the list of "e621 recognizes this as a genre/furries actually understand what's hot about it and how to do it without anyone's feelings ending up hurt"

it is a long list. straight people just don't know how to live

@alexis @schratze those are a lot of words for saying "I have weird fetishes and I'm going to make everyone suffer"

Alexis, FRIEND OF HORNET

@anarchiv @schratze hey, don't look at me. i'm not the one who invented the *checks notes* "stuck in washing machine" genre

@schratze @anarchiv
do danish washing machines do mixed loads?

๐Ÿšฒ

@anarchiv in vietnamese we would even shorten it to just โ€œcowโ€. alas, we donโ€™t have โ€œcowโ€ mode on the washing machine

woollypigs

@anarchiv I'm Danish and I'm not cleaning up after you ;)

@anarchiv this is *incredible*.

Do the Danes know about the notion of the Canadian Tuxedo? thefashionisto.com/canadian-tu

Garrett Wollman

@anarchiv how many of those consonants are pronounced?

schratze

@anarchiv @wollman let me guess, the answer is "linguists have been arguing over this for 150 years"

@anarchiv Now I want a danish washing machine :ablobcathappypaws:

gergo

@anarchiv #magyar version: farmernadrรกg (== farmer trousers), and farmer* (== farmer *).
not sure about washing machine programs tho.

@robinhood I imagine it plays a little "yee-haw" when you turn it on :D

Peter Coles

@anarchiv I'm looking forward to the explanation of this then...

Bjรธrnar ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ป

@telescoper @anarchiv what do you expect when you run the short cotton program? Everyone knows what that means!

@Raeve @telescoper
To quote the bathroom wall at The Black Heart in London, "Jesus wore double denim"

Daniel Bohrer

@telescoper @anarchiv "slut" just means "end" or "finished" in Danish and Swedish

Martin Rundkvist

@anarchiv The Finland Swedes used to call blue jeans "farmarbyxor".

Dane carcass in alley this morning. Tire tread on cowboy pants. Jutland is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended washing machines and the gutters are full of smรธrebrรธd and when the drains finally scab over, all the cowboys will drown.

Rune :BlobhajShock:

@anarchiv my only gripe with this information is that a cowboy washing mode is pointless because you just ruin them by washing them

Souvlaki Space Station ๐Ÿ›ธ

@heatdeath Maybe next time I'm there, though "I need to take a photo of your washing machine" is a bit of a weird opener ^^

Ben Toh

@anarchiv oooo Jeans in Chinese is also cowboy pants ๐Ÿ˜… there's some sort of convergence out there!

John Maxwell

@anarchiv - Note to self: Look into importing a washing machine from Denmark, so I'm prepared next time I need to buy one.
