Bedeutung
Deflecting responsibility.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Norwegians value directness but dislike conflict. This phrase is a way to be direct without being aggressive. The concept of 'Janteloven' (Law of Jante) influences how people take credit or blame. Deflecting blame is common to avoid standing out negatively. In Norwegian workplaces, flat hierarchy means everyone is responsible. Using this phrase too often can be seen as avoiding responsibility. Among friends, this is often said with a shrug to lighten the mood.
