意味
To criticize someone or something sharply.
文化的背景
In Denmark, direct criticism is often seen as a sign of honesty rather than rudeness. Using this idiom can sometimes soften the blow by acknowledging that the speaker is being 'the critic'. The 'Law of Jante' (Janteloven) is prevalent. Being 'ude med riven' is often a way to keep people from thinking they are better than others. Danish tabloid newspapers like 'Ekstra Bladet' are famous for being 'ude med riven'. Their headlines often use aggressive, idiomatic language to attract readers. Danish workplaces are quite flat in hierarchy. This means a subordinate can sometimes say 'Du er godt nok ude med riven i dag' to a boss if the tone is right.
Use it to soften your own criticism
If you need to give harsh feedback, start with 'Nu er jeg måske lidt ude med riven, men...' to show self-awareness.
Don't use it for praise
It is strictly negative. You cannot be 'ude med riven' in a positive way.
