I will not add any - just here to say that I am proud I actually
understood that one. To most Norwegians the term commode would bring
up the image of a chest of drawers, which is termed "kommode" in
Norwegian. The term confused me quite a bit the first time I was in
USA (as did the term "fruity", which I had no idea had any other
emaning than the most obvious one - I accidentally used the term to
describe myself at one time).
