It's tricky to name just one Norwegian national hero of all time, the country is full of them. WWII alone made them a heroic nation 'cause it's the country that lasted longer than cheese eating surrender monkeys who lasted 42 days instead of 62!
They are also a sporty nation whose popular heroes can be found at the cross-country skiing scene - nothing is more Norwegian than a bunch of asthmatic cross-country skiers in the woods with icy snot, or nothing is as erotic (from a man's POV) as in the mass start competition of women's skate skiing on an uphill route; a queue of heavily panting women in a wide crotch position.
One of the quietest national heroes must be the cod who fought against German occupiers in the resistance movement.
Writer Knut Hamsun was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1920 and definitely one of Norway’s national heroes, his breakthrough work was "Hunger." He was also known as an avid fisherman but he became unpopular right after the War at an older age when he accidentally caught the aforementioned resistance cod by using a heavy duty rod and a braided line - he could've released the hero fish but Knut was too hungry for it...
The icing on the cake is, of course, Vidkun Quisling who was the Führer of Norway from 1942 to -45 until he died suddenly of acute complications from nickel allergy and lead poisoning.
The Norwegian national hero of all time must be OIL because they tend to say all of sudden: "We've got oil." Perhaps this is a self-esteem thing 'cause they know that without oil they would be mere stranglers of cod.

An expression to say to your friend in praise of something great they did. It refers to the league of cowgirls who sing the Ballad of Joshyberri and coordinate dances to it.
Person 1: "Hey I completed my SAT's!"
Person 2: "Congratulations! All the Cowgirls sing your song!"
Someone that is sleek, styling, and really, really greasy.
I don't like non-ruffled chips!

An idiom used when an observer notices their friend engaged in an extremely self-centered digression. Serves as a reality check. Inspired through the interactions of siblings: Charlene and Sherwin.
Sherwin: And then, at the tender age of 12, I got my black belt in teakwondo, and then I won a bunch of awards in school and soon you'll be calling me Dr. Sherwin.
Charlene: Well "it's all about meee meee meee" isn't it?
A declaration of victory or superiority. The phrase stems from a 1991 adaptation of Toaplan's "Zero Wing" shoot-'em-up arcade game for the Sega Genesis game console. A brief introduction was added to the opening screen, and it has what many consider to be the worst Japanese-to-English translation in video game history. The introduction shows the bridge of a starship in chaos as a Borg-like figure named CATS materializes and says, "How are you gentlemen!! All your base are belong to us." sic In 2001, this amusing mistranslation spread virally through the internet, bringing with it a slew of JPEGs and a movie of hacked photographs, each showing a street sign, store front, package label, etc. hacked to read "All your base are belong to us" or one of the other many supremely dopey lines from the game (such as "Somebody set us up the bomb!!!" or "What happen?"). When these phrases are used properly, the overall effect is both screamingly funny and somewhat chilling, reminiscent of the B movie "They Live".
The original has been generalized to "All your X are belong to us", where X is filled in to connote a sinister takeover of some sort. Thus, "When Joe signed up for his new job at Yoyodyne, he had to sign a draconian NDA. It basically said, `All your code are belong to us.'" Has many of the connotations of "Resistance is futile; you will be assimilated"
all your base are belong to us
