文化的背景

Finns value functionality. This phrase is a lighthearted way to express that something is no longer useful. Similar attitudes toward minimalism exist in Sweden and Norway, though they use different idioms. The concept of 'throwing to the birds' is a common theme in many cultures to signify waste. Historically, things were disposed of in nature, making the 'water bird' imagery very literal for past generations.
