Uh. Norwegian chiming in. That translation is really bad. I would never translate slutt that literally means end or stop as graduate or the other way round. For graduate I would translate it to fullført (completed).

Also datafag may be used some places i suspect, but I haven't seen it used in higher education. Maybe it was used earlier. But now the terms datateknikk or informatikk are the most common. I have a degree named dataingeniør myself.

Turns out, neither would Google translate

The grammar is bad as well. The of is superimposed in the translation. It should have been slutten/enden av datafag to be correct Norwegian. But by then the joke is fully gone.

Another noggie here - Yes, they're named after the effect they have on your digestive system after passing them at too high speeds.

You're on a bus with others, you all ate too much beans, and it turns out there's a bomb on the bus that goes off if it detects too high fart smell.

Informatikk sounds pretty nuts, too

Oh gotcha. Still, there is something about the double k at the end that gives it some edge (a third k would have the opposite effect, to be clear)

I guess. Any word ending with ics ends with ikk in Norwegian basically. Ceramics - keramikk, electronics - elektronikk, etc.

You should bring back the usage of datafag as fast as possible

I totally read it as “datakink”…
