My other comic: Scandinavia and the World
Klick Pow
So basically Niels is calling them "gay couple brought together by a gun"
I apologize for making a joke no one will get.
Agent 300 saying that only Danes speak Danish is actually a secret agent joke.
Danish is so hard to pronounce that during World War ll and the cold war Danes used their language to spot foreign spies. Because it didn't matter how many years a secret agent had studied Danish, he would never be able to pronounce the words perfectly. So the dreaded line "rød grød med fløde" ("red porridge with cream") that Danes love to make tourists say for laughs, actually have roots in the war where it was the ultimate test.
So Agent 300 and Niels could have a conversation where Niels spoke Danish and 300 answered in English. Because 300 sure as hell isn't going to break his tongue on that silliness.

Well, it's nice to know that shiboliths are alive and well. And that Niels is so very VERY creepy.
Drew was SO right.

it's a pitty that faroese aren't used as spyes as we speak fluently danish (the seelanders think we are from Jutland, and the jutlanders think we are from another part of Jutland), we speak english with a accent that is similiar to scottish, and we have our own language that noone understands

The 'rød grød med fløde' story is also told about potential German spies and the word 'squirrel'.
For some reason, the most usual Dutch word for 'fag' also is a very informal word for 'falling'.
'Flikker'
It makes even less sense.
All other Dutch words for fag either make more sense, are less usual, or both.
Equally usual, less offensive, and making more sense is 'nicht', also meaning 'niece' or 'female cousin'.
