뜻
A common belief that is factually incorrect.
문화적 배경
Swedes often use this phrase to debunk the 'Sinful Sweden' myth (den svenska synden) which originated in the 1960s. In Swedish universities, starting a thesis by identifying an 'utbredd missuppfattning' is a classic way to prove the 'research gap'. Swedish public service (SVT/SR) has programs specifically dedicated to 'krossa missuppfattningar' (crushing misconceptions). A very common Swedish example involves Vikings. Swedes are proud of their history but annoyed by Hollywood's horned helmets.
