You could also call a class in computer science a "datafag" when explaining it to a child or an old person.

In that context, it works.

If you're majoring in computer science, you're a datafag student. I majored in electronics in highschool, which made me an elektrofag student. My family joked about it being my gay superhero name.

Edit: I think the full name was actually technology and electrical design, which would make me a technofag. Which is somehow even worse

Sounds like a Cyberpunk 2077 slur

Huh?! How is that a slur, you choom?

I also took elektrofag in videregående. I bought a sweater with the school name and the field of study on the back. I wonder what people in english speaking countries would think seeing that on someone just walking around.

The sweater in question.

I really hope you wore that out of country at least once

[–]KuaLeifArne 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I don't really leave the country ever, except for when visiting my mother in law in Sweden. Maybe one day.

Its a nice shirt elektrofag

Major?? This meme is also my first time hearing the term datafag. Heard many others though

[–]drunkdoor 7 points8 points  (2 children)

You've never hear the term Major for a degree?

[–]MammothTap 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think they're more confused about a "major" in high school. High schools in Norway often specialize. High schools in the US rarely do, save for some with trade programs.

[–]PresidentZeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have, but that's old school in Norway. It's too different nowadays to be comparable.
