røv
What does “røv” mean in English?
This refers to the buttocks, used in a coarse way. It's a straightforward term for someone's backside.
Literally “buttocks”
It's similar to calling someone an 'arse' in English and can be used informally or in compounds. It's not particularly strong, so it's more playful than offensive.

About this data
Swear Atlas is a source-attested, AI-curated reference — not a native-speaker-certified dictionary. Meanings and the 1–5 Burn Rating are approximate editorial assessments that vary with context, region, tone and speaker. Inclusion of a word does not constitute endorsement of its use.
The literal gloss is a short editorial translation to show word-for-word sense, not an etymological claim.
“Sounds like” is an English-friendly approximation of how the word sounds, not an authoritative pronunciation. Where shown, the romanisation is a conventional Latin-script transliteration of the original spelling.
