सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Complaining about the weather is a national sport. Being 'lei av regn' is a neutral way to start a conversation with a stranger at a bus stop. In Norwegian workplaces, being 'lei' of a project is often discussed openly in 'medarbeidersamtaler' (employee reviews) to prevent burnout. There is a growing trend of 'skjermfri' (screen-free) periods because people are 'lei av sosiale medier'. Younger Norwegians use 'drittlei' very frequently, even in front of parents, as it is seen as a mild swear word.
