ett kok stryk
Swedish
editEtymology
editBy surface analysis, ett (“an”) + kok (“amount of food boiled”) + stryk (“beating”), approx. "a serving of beating." Likely originally from kåkstryk (“flagellation at the pillory”), misinterpreted over time.
Noun
edit- (idiomatic, colloquial) a beating
- Någon borde ge honom ett kok stryk
