Landrot in dutch, but nothing to do with rats. I think the same word is used in the saying "ouwe rot in t vak" -old "rot" in the trade. Someone that is knowledgeable about what he is doing and been around for a long time.
i ll look it up now to find out about the etymolgy, and maybe the connection to the german one.
I remember looking landlubber up yeeaaars ago. Because when i was young, i used to think it was landlover. Made sense to me, there is folketymology for ya.
The idea that Australia can be both an Island and a Continent is false. Australia is a continent due to having it's own continental shelf, Greenland (the largest island) does not have it's own continental shelf.
Australia is a continental landmass, so cannot be an island. If it could, then by the same logic so could Antarctica, America and Afroeurasia, all of which are much bigger than Australia.
I also struggled with the clue being Canada. Since it said Canada, I didn’t think of anything before the actual country of Canada even existed. Maybe it could be changed to North America?
Lapland is a province in Sweden and Finland, neither of which are the northernmost region in Scandinavia. That would go to Finnmark county in Norway. Either the question should be changed or the specifics should be made clearer, like "The northernmost province of Sweden/Finland".
I think Finnmark (and some other parts of Norway) is usually included in the geographical definition of Lapland, but different sources might disagree with each other. Also, Finland isn't even part of Scandinavia, so either way the question should be tweaked a bit.
By Bangkok do you mean Krungthepmahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharatratchathaniburirom Udomratchaniwetmahasathan Amonphimanawatansathit Sakkathattiyawitsanukamprasit?
i think it's even more accurate than the actual answer.
