dagbladet.no (Swedish)

A fictional character's exaggerated use of the word "sliten" (tired) in a popular Norwegian Christmas calendar has sparked national debate. The character, Cato, is depicted as extremely fatigued, using the term "sleten" to emphasize his condition. This has brought renewed attention to a psychiatrist's 2024 warning about the unnuanced use of "sliten" to describe various levels of exhaustion. While some find the humor relatable and a catalyst for discussion on language and health, others have filed complaints, viewing the portrayal as mocking those with chronic illnesses.
