Gawd do I have to teach you your own history, too?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Brudenell,_7th_Earl_of_Cardigan

I'm mystified at your description of a cardigan as 'underwear'. God knows, nobody accuses Norwegians of being overly bright but you'd think they'd at least understand how to wear clothes properly. You're all so in-bred that you can't take the advice of well-meaning 'outsiders'. You probably wear your clogs on your head too.

Go find a picture of Charles I's undershirt -- it is nasty so I don't want it in the bakeshop.  I do not expect you to know the first rule of historical fashion by which underwear becomes outerwear but that is one of the oldest surviving examples, right down to the pattern which, in Norwegian, is known as "kors og kringle".  Norwegian peasants began to wear it under their overalls, peeking out at the top and embellished with embroidery and whatever tin they could manage as buttons, and that is the ancestor of what you have thoughtlessly named a "cardigan", as though you folks invented it.  You did not; you just forgot.

The two- (or more) color knitting was for warmth, making a double thickness, and allowed for the incorporation of designs that very likely have their roots in pagan superstition across the breast (Viking-era tablet weaving has the same pattern) and also personalization -- many early examples from Scandinavia have the dates and owners' names worked in.

Here are some happy Setesdalers showing how it was originally worn.  This is regarded as the oldest bunad in Norway in continual use, with authentic roots in the peasantry rather than the rest which ape early 19th-c. bourgeois style.

As usual you get it wrong, you pseudo-Nordic windbag. It's not a shirt when you wear it underneath but a vest. The vest was meant to protect the thorax from cold but gradually mutated into the waistcoat, which is worn over the shirt, and usually only by ponces or croupiers.

I refer you to the cardigan worn by Detective Starsky in one of your favourite TV programmes 'Starsky and Hutch' (you even delight the old folks at the 'Rest Home for Exiled and Retarded Norwegians ' by playing the theme tune for them on the pump organ, so I've heard). That is a chunky, long-sleeved affair and has about as much affinity with your vest as a pork pie has with a pterodactyl.

You've glossed over the fact that you evidently don't know what a balaclava is. Your cheeks are no doubt burning with shame and you've fabricated this nonsense to try and distract me. Well, the best of Bombay luck, duck! 'Cos this fellow ain't gonna be distracted by your idle chaff!

I'm sure Charles I was wearing a hair shirt which isn't really a shirt at all. Probably the same sort of thing Thomas More used to wear next his skin to make him feel miserable.

And you need to go back and diagram my sentence if you think I was talking about balaclavas.  I realize my clauses overlap in Johnsonian ranks but you should be able to penetrate those thickets easily.  The etymology of "cardigan" is well-known and you are the one who applied it to my sweater, much like you now try to apply the latinate "vest" to a garment which predates their pernicious influence on you by centuries.  This is why the English will always be a bastard race, cut loose from their moorings, linguistically and culturally adrift.

[WOTR]

We most certainly did!  And, on the subject of stollen, I cite your oma eagerly.  On an English cake, however, I am more likely to cite whoozit, who I associate with that benighted nation both for the way he jumped all over Shreddie's Tunis cake and for his appalling tendency to mistake his part for the whole, much like Shreddie with his absurd "cardigan", as though all of Europe was so taken with the ridiculous poltroon and popinjay of a lord by that name that, as a body, they elected to call what is effectively a near-universal piece of long underwear after the blunderer of Balaclava.

Also,I forgot the garlic powder in the pizza chicken recipe oh gawd I am so ashamed 😢

Oh, of course. My apologies. I had missed that and just assumed a misattribution.

[Walks_At_Night]

Get 'em Shreddie. 

[K_Dubb]

Poor bugger; I almost feel sorry for him.  Wakes up to troll the dumb Americans only to get strangled with a cardigan and have his ass wiped with Charles I's undershirt.

If you ever stop being an effeminate, snide little cunt long enough, I might tell you about the family connection I have with the Grand Cham. But, for the present, you can go pound sand and fuck yourself with a wire brush.

By the way, you dumb fucks probably aren't aware of this but 'Azzerae' is an anagram of 'zaza 'ere'. And the url of this site is 'azzgab.co.za(za). K_Dubb should ask his bunny to pose with one of those dick hats he likes so much.

I am sure the good doctor is up there weeping over the lamentable state of his progeny, reduced to impotent fury by a scion of the most disreputable sort of sailors and fisherfolk, who just happened to take his advice and continues to vigorously polish his pebble.

Funnily enough I was just talking to my big sis in Alaska who is working on a new sweater for me, this one replaces the kors og kringle XOXOXO with an Alaska theme with snowflakes and mooses.  But its relationship to the royal undershirt (his was knit of silk, if I remember right) should even be apparent without your spectacles.



One of the less-gory images where you can easily see the XOXOXOXO design that did nothing for poor King Chuck.

This occurred to you just now?
