sløv padde

Defined as a verb. Looks like a noun phrase to me. "En" seems to be not needed. SemperBlotto (talk) 11:51, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Based on uses, I think it is used as much for an apathetic or dull person as for a lazybones. Our noun lump, sense 4, covers both.  --Lambiam 12:52, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Can confirm that en is just an article; I've moved accordingly, and changed from "phrase" to "noun". I also observe that padde is an epithet in itself, also in Norwegian, although it looks like that refers more to stupidity than laziness or apathy:

1. • 1983, Jens Bjørneboe, Samlede skuespill

     Jesus-Maria for en samling av idioter! Herregud, beskytt dem! For en idiot jeg har giftet meg med! Din padde! Ditt fjols! Å Gud i himmelen, hvis de tar deg nu! Hører du?! Din åndssvake gamle hankatt! Herre Jesus, ta vare på ham! Idiot!

   • 1945, Øivind Bolstad, De gylne lenker: roman

     Jeg skal bakkerekordere deg jeg, skrek Gunnar, og veltet ham over ende mens han sopte snø ned gjennom halsen hans, – tror du ikke jeg kan sette en ny om det så er stappende mørkt? Har du noe å si, din padde?
