    In other words: Atlantid type

    Well, in each language there can be some words you can make fun of. I don't really find Swedish funny, I barely know a few Swedish words(literally name of some cities, brands and "lagom")

    Sounds like a gay version of German, I could not even take Schwarzenegger serious if he speaks Swedish.
