To SMALTA

When you see someone or something that is so cute that you just have to cuddle him/her/it - a little bit too hard... What is that in English? In Swedish it's SMALTA, a word invented by the Wallin family in Hittarp outside Helsingborg. It's a very good word, indeed. Totally covers what Adam does to me every now and again. The face of someone who's about to SMALTA you is a bit scary. The smile is big but hard, with teeth clenched and chin shooting out. It's not evil. No no no. But nonetheless, it's a good idea to get out of the way if you're a baby, or a kitten, or something adorable like that. It's way nicer to SMALTA than to SMALTAS (get smalted).
