A lot of you people call us Sven, for some reason. It's an old man's name for our generation! Ironically, however, Sven means "young man" or possibly "squire", depending on its context.

That is all.

Ha, this reminds me of this one Swedish kid in our class who had his name down as Sven on the role and would correct every teacher by saying it's not Sven it's Anders.

He said Sven meant "son of".
But then it would be like "Son of" (insert swedish first name here) [insert first half of swedish second name here]son.
Cause yanno most Swedish second names end in son.
