Swedish expressions

Swedish expressions, (translated) into English where possible.

A

  • Armhåleturfa - (Armpit turfing) - To block the GPS signal, for example by stopping your mobile in the armpit, to prevent the player symbol in the app from moving. The purpose is usually to get the player symbol to remain in a zone in order to be able to takeover the zone even though you have already left it, usually when traveling by public transport. 'Note' that this method is in the gray zone, as the turf unit is not physically in the zone the entire takeover time! However, it is a noble art to succeed in blocking the GPS signal at exactly the right moment, as the player symbol continues to move for a short time even after the blocking has been performed.

B

  • Barnvagnsturfa - (Stroller turfing) - To go with a pram and turf.
  • Bilturfa - Car turfing - When a car is used as a means of transportation when playing Turf. This is ineffective in dense city areas but can save one a lot of time when zones a far between each other. Some turfers consider carturfing to be somewhat cheating.

D

  • Dröm-vessla - (Dream weasel) - To perform an Eager Weasel in a time of 10 minutes. The term became less relevant on May 21, 2016 when the medal Eager Ferret was introduced. Since the ferret could not be taken retroactively, the concept of dream weasel still lives on to some extent.
