'Borg'?


I am from Sweden, but I have never seen the first name "Borg" being used here. Literally it means "Castle", so it's not simply taken from the air. (And the greatest tennis player ever, Björn Borg, had it as a last name.) In some female names, 'borg' may be used as the second element, though: Ingeborg (with the famous short form "Inga"), Gunborg (short form "Gun") etc.

Hey true, I'm a swede too but I never heard Borg as a first name, as a last name, sure. By the way, what was up with his last name? Guillarson? Since when did you hear that? Guillar's son? Never heard it before.

Hey, it was funny when he yelled "Förbannad hund", I guess he was meant to say "Damn dog" in swedish but instead he said angy dog. He he.

Hey, thanks for pointing that out! That just makes this movie all the more interesting. You and the OP should add a comment about this in the TRIVIA section. I'm sure other IMDB members would love to know!

Are there any other comments that 'Borg' makes that can translate for us non-Swede's?
