"Rævsnerk"
Noun: That moist substance between your ass cheecks on a hot and humidity day when you haven't showered for too long.
Ræv = ass.
Snerk = that membrane-like substance that forms on top of soups and sauces that have been left in room temperature for too long.-
In English this is called swamp ass.

Norwegian. Middle-north dialect, to be specific

det er så kult!

"Det finnes dusinvis av oss" would perhaps be a better translation, but it's not really an expression commonly used in Norway, so it still feels a bit awkward to say.
