strypgrepp
Swedish edit
Etymology edit
strypa (“strangle”) + grepp (“grip, hold”)
Noun edit
strypgrepp n
- a grip around someone's neck with the hands (as when strangling), a literal stranglehold
- att ta strypgrepp
- to put one's hands around someone's neck
- a figurative stranglehold (stifling control)
- (professional wrestling) a chokehold
Usage notes edit
SAOB (and the author's intuition) says hands (outside professional wrestling), but likely to be a bit inconsistent. Compare strupgrepp (“chokehold”).
