SV: [AT] OT Roller!

[Mattias Kessén]

It's mostly not the slang that is the problem, mostly it's the technical terms. But when you have discussed it for a while it usually get's understandable. The TV is full of American slang I assure you there's probably not any "bad words" I haven't heard of but they rarely discuss old iron on TV. Dinners ready gotta go.
