Y'all should look up the term for mogging on urban dictionary.

His name is like Smitty over here, that is what Foppa is over there. I think it's a commonly used name.

The Swedes are a very thoughtful people and knew to give him a Swedish nickname that would rhyme with Floppa.
If you are reading this then there is a very good chance you have no clue about hockey.

its sweedish for Foppa.
Why people read signatures:
- It is an acceptable way to stare at women.
- Allows people to have a counter-argument by insulting what is in a persons signature (pooh-pooh fallacy).
- Allows people to show that they like a man and they put colourful things around the picture of a man(usually a hockey player :P).
- To watch a funny GIF or a funny pic.
- Funny Quote or Saying

Yeah, but we all know how Naslund and Nazzy are connected.
But how did Forsberg become known as Foppa?

Which is the correct one?
Sitting on dead person, or feeding the person?

Foppa isn't a word in the Swedish dictionary.

I believe Foppa was what the media called Forsberg there, much like Nazzy for Naslund or Cookie for Cooke here.
The term Floppa came about because he's a fu*king Divealanche and he can get perfect 10's at Olympic diving.
