      Not all schools and depends on how old you are. If I had to just toss a time period out I would say pre 2000-2004 or so if you started to learn English (for me it was 4th grade/10 yrs old) it was RP-Pronunciation aka Posh English. The Queen's English.
      These days it's probably GA - General American or that is what kids turn it into due to cultural influences, but I would bet it varies a lot, especially if you compare public and private schools.

      In Sweden, the grammar being taught in English classes, e.g. the choice of alternate words and spelling differences like "biscuit vs. cookie", "sweets vs. candy", "chips vs. French fries" etc., are ALWAYS based off and derived from the British (UK) dictionary. This is simply just because it's considered a more "clean" and proper way of speaking and writing. It is also the nation of the English language... It has become an international standard for English learning.
      This does not however determine how you will come to PRONOUNCE English words onwards - which depends more of the teachers pronunciation, audio-based comprehension assignments in the classes with either a British or an American narrator etc...
      Also, the probability of later deflecting and diverging from this school-taught English to a more American based one is most likely going to increase as most of the English speaking we hear today is the American one. Reason for this obviously comes from social media, media, news, films, books, and much more. I remember myself being taught British grammar and pronunciation, but later, after consuming American based English, I started to pick up on that more.

    3:30 The best place to find a stekare is Stockholm. A typical stekare belongs to the Swedish upper class, wears branded clothing and drinks champagne! Likes to show that he is from the upper class.
    Aftonbladet's columnist Fredrik Virtanen described this in 2005 as follows: "Smooth Runar Sögaard hair, brown without sun cream, Canada Goose jacket vest, red shirt, huge wraparound shades , bleached luxury jeans and hip-hop sneakers."
    I think that a stekare only includes men, while a brat , which is then always a youth, can be both a boy and a girl. The stekare could be adults not just youth. Yuppie would be closer.

      BaksmÀlla, bakfull -pick your poison. Both words are used, refering to the same lovely condition.
      But, I looked it it up. The word bakis comes from "bak-rus". So you were right and I was wrong.
      "bak" then ought to be from tillbaka -> previous. And rus -> intoxication. I am guessing that different words are used in different regions.

Rund under fötterna = round under your feet (means you are drunk and a bit wobbly). Stekare = sleazy showoff. Knullrufs = fuck-fluff (messy hair after sex).

    I have my favorite expression in Swedish "dra den om Àlgen" tell that story about the Moose! In English it would mean something like when someone says something really stupid or very unlikely then you say "yeah right, tell that story about the Moose while you're at it"! In the same situation you could also say "tro du pÄ Tomten ocksÄ?" In English it would be do you believe in Santa Claus as well?!" The word aina is a new word deriving from the suburbs where many immigrants live or as we say in nowadays orten which is short for förorten meaning the suburb. Two other classic Swedish sayings are "nu har du skitit i det blÄ skÄpet" in Enlgish now you just took a poop in the blue cabinet! Meaning you went too far, over line or you screwed up badly! Then we have "glida in pÄ en rÀkmacka" in English something like slide in on a schrimp sandwich. That means like you got away easy or nothing is hard for you. When you're in a for example queue and someone tries to sneak before everyone then you can say "don't you think you can just show up here and slide in on a schrimp sandwich! A schrimp sandwich is concidered something fancy not just a average sandwich but a more like luxurious.

    3:15 - the use and connotations of Stekare really depends on who is using it in my opinion.
    Firstly, it's literal meaning is "Someone that is frying", as in cooking. Compare frying pan = Stekpanna.
    When I most remember hearing it was around 2004-2008 or so and me and my circle of friends mostly meant it as obnoxious rich kids that spent/wasted way too much money on namebrand clothes, expensive drinks, and projecting that image. There is a verb commonly used regarding these people too - Vaska.
    Vaska means to, for example, buy two bottles of expensive champagne and "Vaska" one of them. Literally pouring it out in the kitchen sink. Why?Because you can. Money is nothing you care about, or at least it is silly to have to - What are you?! One of the poors?!
    You can do this with anything, clothes, an expensive car you crashed in you can retroactively say that you "Had to Vaska it" etc etc. The gist is - It's fine I have so much money I can always buy more.
    Knowing some of Alicia's background (unless I completely misremember)I would wager she might have less negative associations with the word (Stekare).

    The older generation in Sweden learnt brittish english because it was proper. Alicia is part of the same generation as me (early to mid 30's) and it was basically a 50/50 for our generation to have English teachers teaching American English or Brittish English. In her case I guess she had more of the Brittish ones. My accent was very Brittish until I hung out with a friend from the US for 3 months. And then I got influenced more by CZcams/Movies which are mostly American. However I still can and love using the Brittish accent even though I have to think a little bit more about it. Fun fact, the younger generation learn/mimic almost always the American accent nowadays because of the same reason, most media outlets are in American English, and most of them have a really hard time hearing/understanding Brittish English (even some classmates in school had a hard time with it) so I always have to modify it to American, hence why I don't use it as much even though I'd love to.

    AINA is slang mostly used by swedish immigrants for the police. Or used to be. Lets put it this way, it was used by immigrants who didn't really care for swedish law. For example "Watch out for AINA" or "AINA is coming" or "F*** AINA". I'd say AINA from the start was meant to be very disrispectful. Then they named a reality show called AINA 112. So the world became more chill i suppose.

    It’s not ”ge tillbaka för gammal ost”, it’s ”fĂ„ betalt för gammal ost”, which means ”to get paid for old cheese”. And yeah, it basically means payback. 😄

    She apparently don't know what these phrases actually mean; She is close, but not correct.
    F.ex. "Fjortis" wasn't exactly in the meaning of a "brat"; It technically is the number fourteen made in to a noun to describe a person. So it's kind of about the early teen when they are still kids, but start being interested in dressing more adult, make-up, think they know everything and think they are adults.. Sure.. it's bratty behaviour, but a 2 year old can be a brat, it can't be a "Fjortis".
    "Is i magen" kind of mean to stay cool.. It can be used to describe a character trait (someone is fearless), or situations where it's easy to chicken out.. "You have to have ice on your stomach"..
    "There is no cow on the ice".. She didn't quite get to the point, when she SEEMED to be close to describing it she just repeated the phrase itself. It means there is no reason to act rashly as there isn't any time-restriction in whatever you need to figure out.. It's usually used when somenoe is looking at a huge problem and they are getting caught in how important it is.. and you are telling them to chill.. It's better to slow down instead of acting without forethought. A decision can be made in due time.
    .. "GÄ som katten runt het gröt" (is what she said, though it was written with the word "kring") sn't about a "danger" it's about someone who is avoiding something, usually a topic of conversation that is ~uncomfortable~ for a reason or other. if there is actual danger it may actually be a good thing to avoid it, and you should continue, but this phrase is only used about situations where you know you kind of SHOULD "steer into the wave" as it was.
    "Stekare".. Literally would kind of mean "someone who fries", and the word means someone who's i identity (at least the "image" they want) is kind of based on being tanned (frying in the sun).. The type of person DO often have slick hair, and more often than not drink champagne and basically live the "spoiled rich kid who don't have to work" life-style.
    Often when people use the word "mysa" they DO talk about cuddling, but.. often it's not.. It's closer to the word "Cosy".. It's when you enjoy relaxation.. If a family say they are going to have a "MyskvÀll" (kvÀll means evening) then it doesn't mean they are cuddling each other (though kind of the same as "cuddle up with a good book).. It's just that the entire family is gathered and enjoy some relaxed quality time.
    "Ge tillbaka för gammal ost".. She is SO close... "Give back for old cheese".. It can also be phrased as "Du ska fÄ betalt för gammal ost" (You shall get paid for old cheese).. Revenge IS kind of what it is about but I'd say a more appropriate English word would be "payback" as it's kind of more low key.. Also if "payment" is implied it would be easier to understand what it kind of implies. I don't know the true origin of it, She may be right.. I just always assumed this was kind of a reference over someone being sold bad cheese and didn't realize it until they got home.. The "old" IS also kind of relevant as it is usually something that happened a while back and you never ever had an opportunity to set it straight.. I think there is an English expression that would be "Old gripe" that I think would pretty much be spot on.

    Several examples aren't exactly slang but rather idioms, and some of them are quite old too, and she's only translating it all directly word for word without explaining, I'd give that video a 5/10 tops xD.
    The old cheese one for instance refers to getting revenge or get even with someone (someone gave you old cheese and now you're giving something similar back). Think in English you can use the idiom "give someone a taste of their own medicine" or "maybe rather "to settle an old score".đŸ€”

    Sadge that she did absolutely ZERO etymology around the words.
    So - for anyone mad enough to be interested:
    Bakis - short for "BaksmÀlla"... back-bang (think aftershock after a night out)
    Fjortis - short for "FjortonÄring", i.e someone who is fourteen(or rather, acts like they are)
    BĂ€rs - (likely) short for "Bayer-ish beer", a region in Germany known for making good beer.
    Ingen ko pÄ isen - from back when the your survival was tied to the survival of your cow.
    Rund under fötterna - when you had a few pints - you get "round under your feet"
    Is i magen - same as saying "keep it cool", when someone is freaking out.
    Stekare - almost never used, but means someone who is overtly flashy with their money.
    SlÀng dig i vÀggen - Strong dismissal/disbelief/dismissal compare with "Get outta here"
    GÄ som katten kring/runt het gröt - "Beat around the bush".
    Sambovikt - never heard it. Not a thing.
    Tagga ned - Slang centered around cities, mainly Stockholm. (Cool it! /Calm down!)
    Mysa - Whatever the verb of "cosy" would be.
    Knullrufs - Knull=Fornication, Rufs=messy, unkempt(about hair)
    Ge tillbaka för gammal ost - Hard cheese has a long shelf life. (Equivalent to "Revenge is best served cold").
    Skogstokig - Forest Crazy. Equivalent to "Cabin fever"
    Den gubben gÄr jag inte pÄ - "Gubbe" means old man, Gubbe is referring to the trick... thus (I'm not falling for that old trick.)
    Shit pommes frites - something a "Fjortis" would say
    Pudding - A sweet desert, so equivalent to "to be a honey/sweetie"
    NollÄttor - while it does refer to the people of the capital... think Obnoxious American abroad.
    Ont i hÄret - never heard before, but yea - if you are hung over, you have a headache... i.e pain in your hair.
