        He acknowledges they rowed, but that the trip across the Atlantic was by sail.

        Claims the cheer is a rip-off of the thunder clap and the song about rowing across the ocean is stupid.

      Ackchyually they win you fleeting viral fame and a posting on European_memes.

      .

      Pedantry is the bane of progress, discourse, and the weapon of arsehole busybodies and jobsworths. Absolutely join in and have fun. Even the courts in many countries have said “fuck off” to pedantry by allowing spirit of the law vs letter of the law argumentation.

        Yes, the expectation of clear communication really is the most evil thing that’s ever existed.

          Arguing over facts that have little situational relevance has nothing to do with clear communication.

          Is the score board shown in runes? No. Did the Vikings play soccer? Again….

            I’m just referring to what people call ‘pedantry’, which exists far outside cases like this.

    For those interested:

    Det er prinsipp, det er prinsipp. Vi kan ikkje stele frå Island, stele den ideen, seier ein standhaftig Emil Anners Lappen (source: NRK).

    Altså, Emil is of opinion this is a copied chant from the 2016 Iceland clap.
