意味
To be crafty or cunning.
文化的背景
The fox is the provincial animal of Värmland and is a staple in Swedish children's literature, often portrayed as a clever anti-hero. Across the Nordics, 'cleverness' is often preferred over 'brute strength,' reflecting the harsh environment where survival required wit. In Swedish offices, calling someone a 'räv' can be a high compliment for a senior employee who knows all the shortcuts.
