A-laget-reporterne reagerer på «rykte»: - Kan ta seg en bolle!
The reporters around the Norwegian program A-laget have reacted to a rumor that has been circulating about them, and their answer dripped with sarcasm. Their reply came in a single line, 'Kan ta seg en bolle', an old Norwegian expression that literally invites someone to go eat a bowl but in practice calls their story nonsense. By answering with an idiom rather than a point by point rebuttal, the group signaled how little it cares about the claim. The headline marks the item with the Norwegian word for rumor, rykte, making it clear that nothing documented backs the story. Short dismissals like this are a familiar tool in Norwegian media when a claim looks too weak to justify a full denial. The reaction suggests the team prefers to laugh the speculation away rather than give it oxygen. Whether anyone returns to the story with actual evidence is another question. For now it stays exactly what the headline calls it, a rumor.
