So, my local dialect of English, Geordie, has a significant Scandinavian influence, stemming most likely from the Viking invasions in the middle ages. There's one Geordie word some of my older customers use to mean flea-ridden, "Loppy". So "a loppy dog" for example, or maybe an old rug could be called "loppy". Anyway, today I learnt the Norwegian word for flea is "loppe"!
