Living luxuriously.
خلفية ثقافية
The 'Oil Adventure' (Oljeeventyret) has made 'sus og dus' a common theme in national debates about how to spend the country's wealth. Janteloven often makes people hesitant to admit they live in 'sus og dus', as it might be seen as bragging. The phrase is frequently used in Norwegian 'influencer' culture, often ironically or to describe the 'perfect' life shown on Instagram. The phrase reflects the 17th-century European ideal of the 'grand feast' as the ultimate sign of success.
Use it for 'Splurging'
You can use this phrase when you decide to spend a lot of money on a single weekend or event, not just a whole life.
Don't reverse it
Never say 'dus og sus'. It's a one-way street!
