Curb, when?

Hi folks,

I missed this week's Simma Lugnt, Larry! Can anyone tell me when it plays again in Canada? I watch it on the Movie Channel every Tuesday night.

What's up with using the Swedish title?

You didn't offend me, you made me laugh. It's a stupid translation. "Simma lugnt" is a lame slang expression that menas "Take it easy". By the way, what does "Curb Your Enthusiasm" mean? Is that a common expression?

night.

I'm not a native English speaker, but I thought it meant something like "Don't get too excited"... get enthused, but curb it, you know, keep it within limits...

I am probably wrong in this, I am sure someone else will know.

Yes, that's what it means, but in this case, I sense they are being facetious. Karen (This has international incident written all over it :)

How do you know it's a "stupid translation" if you don't know what the original phrase means?

Good question! Well, I kind of had an idea of what it ment, but I thought maybe there was more to it. The main reason of my take, was that the swedish expression "simma lugnt" is something that almost no one uses anymore, it's sooooooo played (just like the voice ;).
