Ya, I get it that this is the whole joke of the post, but I'm bemused to discover that I'm a slutt datafag.
I had not anticipated climbing to such a pinnacle in my lifetime.

    I have never heard anyone call computer science "datafag", it's usually called "informatikk" (like "informatics" which you can also say in English), and "slutt" just means end or stop, I have never heard anyone use it to refer to graduating.

    "Fag" does mean "subject" or "field of study", though, so computer science is a "fag", and it might be considered a "realfag" along with the natural sciences, I don't know.

    Edit: I got corrected below, "datafag" is real

    My dad did 'datafag' some 50 years ago, at least I think they called it that. It was the era of 'hullkort' (punchcards). Also I think it should be sluttdatafag all in one word. I seem to remember some old folks referring to graduate degrees as sluttfag. I dont think anyone has ever put 'data' in the middle there though. Sounds like AI hallucination.

    You are right, in fact it's still possible to study datafag, I stand corrected: https://uit.no/utdanning/program/795103/informatikk_datafag_-_bachelor

    With regards to "sluttfag", I couldn't find anything real, but Google's AI summary says "Et sluttfag er et fag på videregående skole som blir avsluttet med en standpunktkarakter det gjeldende skoleåret" - so it's the final year of a subject that gives you a grade on your high-school diploma... according to a language model :l

    To pull you back just a little "slutt datafag" is an expression for the subject which you are graduating. Or maybe google reads it as a verb + noun, since "slutt" means "stop" or "end" and assumes that "end" means "graduate" in this context. Anyways I don't think it makes sense as a description for a person.

    But you are free to call yourself a "fagperson". This is a very common phrase to describe a person with education.

    Bottom one is more stop/end computer class, does not imply graduation, though fag is generally used as tradecraft. Which makes the books you use for it fag literature.

    Just wait till you hear about popular Norwegian names, like Simen (pronounced exactly the way you think).

    Also make sure you mind your fart when on the road. Norwegian police are quite strict about that and could give you a fartsbot if you don't comply.

    lol reminds me of when I worked in education; there was this hearing impaired kid. On the playground they're playing shop, his dad must have been a construction worker or something. He yells at the top of his voice, does anyone want to buy some Simen (He was trying to say cement)? We, staff, had to discuss should we let him know or not, went with just laughing it off.

    Does that mean I became a slutt on graduation day?

    If you pronounce "fag" like a Dutch, a German would here "Fach" which translates to (school-)subject
