Is it true that, as suggested in the movie, Dickmann (the family name of the protagonist) translates to Norwegian as "penis man"?
I know what a dick in English is. But I couldn't find that term in online Norwegian dictionaries (I almost wrote dicktionaries).
If any Norwegians could oblige me, it would be much appreciated.
If I remember correctly, they were speaking Norwegian during the scene. So it would not make sense that they would say it like that. I got the impression that it doesn't mean anything in Norwegian.
shareWhen two characters are talking about the name, they say (according to the subtitles) that it means "Cock Man". This is probably a slang usage and hence not in the dictionary (I don't think they are talking about roosters).
shareIt was badly stated but I assumed they were stating that "dick" was a slang term for penis that was not known by Norwegians. Kind of like the time we were talking to our French brother in law and mentioned beets. Guess what "beet" means in France.
