Exempel

“Nämnda antal innefattar även anmärkningar om s.k. »slamkrypare« i frågesportprogram.”

Said number also includes remarks on so-called »trick questions« in quiz shows.

“Det var redaktionen på På Spåret i Göteborg som ringde. De ville att jag i princip skulle bekräfta att cabernet sauvignon är världens mest odlade blå druva. […] Mitt svar blev alltså att det hela är högst oklart. Och som bekant ska man inte ha oklara svar i frågesportprogram – kanske räddade jag dem från en slamkrypare?”

It was the editorial team from På Spåret in Gothenburg who called. They basically wanted me to confirm that cabernet sauvignon is the world's most widely cultivated red grape. […] So my answer was that the whole thing is highly unclear. And as we know, you shouldn't give unclear answers in quiz shows – maybe I saved them from a trick question?
