A Swedish friend of mine came to visit me in Germany. She was quite shocked when she saw a number of shop signs saying Knüller, meaning sensation. Apparently there's a very similar word in Swedish which literally means 'having it off'.

Yes, I experienced the same thing when I went to Germany myself! Me and my friend Bjorn found that so surpising that the words were so similar!
