Inte riktigt navlad

Me and my friends in London are kind of collecting expressions for not being completely sane.

Hissen går inte ända upp - The lift doesn't reach the top floor
Han har inte alla cornflakes i paketet - There is not enough cornflakes in the box
Hjulet snurrar men hamstern är död - The wheel is spinning but the hamster is dead
Det är ingen hemma - There is noone at home
Hon har inte alla hästarna i stallet - She hasn't got all the horses in the stable
Han är inte den skarpaste kniven i lådan - He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer
Det är inte plogat ända fram - The road is not ploughed all the way
Kontoret är öppet men personalen har gått hem - The office is open but the staff has left the building

You are all welcome to contribute with more! :)

Interesting. I'm curious if the men who are proudly supportive of women and open in their endorsement of the Feministisk Iinitiativ find they're marginalized by society or women in particular? FI is a wonderful idea and I'm a feminist male; but as an American it's quite difficult to openly espouse feminist beliefs for fear of ridicule. I think it's so great there's such an open discussion on gender roles, equality and the role of women in modern society.

I suppose there are men who are proud to be feminists. Some of them are even members of Fi.

Some of them you can reach here:
