@@MrSilvUrFrom the Greek, splitting off from proto Indo European around 25,000 years ago, which according to Grimms law resulted in proto Old Norse "sviggr" which gave us our modern English "swag"
Thinking of Old Norse speaking peoples as an “anxious” culture and descriptions of talent and good fortune as foreshadowing doom is fascinating. Great talk!
At 25:53 (I can't quite make out what was said) when talking about a fiction writer that gets close to the lack of "rules" seen in mythic writings, (compared to that of modern fiction,) was it J. R. R. Tolkien? Or someone else?
Towards the end Dr Crawford mentions that someone comes up with a slanderous poem of a guy and says that he’s the offspring caused by his mom eating a rotten fish, isn’t there some sort of tale about the anti-Christ being the offspring of a woman eating a rotten fish? Is this some sort of ancient trope or something like that as an origin for terrible people?
“A sweat kid or a leg kid”. According to Gylf. 5, Ymir had two children, a male and a female, from the sweat under his arms and his two legs had a son together. So if we assume Bestla was one of these she would have to be a sweat kid. Unfortunately, Gylf 6 tells us that Bestla is the daughter of the jotun Bolthorn, not Ymir :)
Perhaps I am overthinking this but the idea that the gods would not approve of a marriage between one of themselves and a Yotun is not that unlikely. It needs some event in the past of the myth that has broken the two groups apart. In our world in England the Houses of Lancaster and York are both descended from the House of Plantagenet ( they were actually both branches of the that house) . People in both houses were quite closely related . That did not stop the Houses of Lancaster & York in indulging in what they called The Cousins War and we call The Wars of The Roses. Marriage between the two houses would have been disapproved of by the leaders of the houses. A similar thing would have happened after the protestant catholic split in the Stuart dynasty. Given the aggressive Norse leadership style the “ yes we are related but have nothing to do with them” thing may just have been a common thing in Medieval Scandinavia and just taken as default behaviour.
I cannot believe that Jackson Crawford of all people is the reason I finally bothered to look up the definition of “ Rizz”.
I mean... It's a shortening of "charisma," right?
EDIT: Ah! It seems to be covered in the video! 😅

I saw the abomination of a title and knew that I had to watch.
Rizznarok
👏🏻
Crawford will stand tall above us all in the coming of Rizznarök ❤
A Heckler & Koch sticker on the macbook of a cowboy norse language specialist doing a talk on rizz is a unique vibe
Got that Norse rizz.

Our Cowboy rizzler has finally embraced the youth culture! Norse skibidi rizzleton.

Rizznar Lothbrok
So 8 Mile is an old Norse saga, in the vein of the skaldic poets.
Impeccable rizz
His sweet wife is front row❤
I wish I had rizz like this.
👏🏽 yes!

It was Tolkien.
Crawford has always been an expert rizzler 👀

Oðìnn the Rizzfather

Heckler and Koch? I see you are a man of refined taste that appreciates quality.

Now we know how he got his wife
You're rizz-o-riffic.
This shitpost needs to be stopped Crawford
Thank you
