SKÖGE Ikea area rug

Check out this mini-floor rug. Comes in large, small and Prosh.

[Laughing in Swedish accent] Casey G., I think "SKÖGE" is better than "Caesar" for a name.

Sure, buy it because it's $20 and the perfect size for your dorm's kitchenette, but don't be surprised when it needs, you know, food.: katerpie; | Mar 26, 2008 at 11:08 AM

this is just what I need for a welcome mat! how welcoming would that be!: metsakins; | Mar 26, 2008 at 11:30 AM

Attach a handle and it's an Organic Swiffer.: kmira; | Mar 26, 2008 at 11:44 AM

my first dog looked like this. he was a japanese spitz.: Hyura; | Mar 26, 2008 at 11:59 AM

Bet it's made of particle board. Or lingonberries.: Guido; | Mar 26, 2008 at 12:00 PM

Hmmm Dunno about Swedish, but Sköge is a naughty word in Danish... I would NEVER call a cute rug like this sköge... Never!: Drude; | Mar 26, 2008 at 12:07 PM

Is it a sign of dementia that when I read the rollover text, I thought it said "SHORTEN KITTEN to the kitchen section"?: rosieLB; | Mar 26, 2008 at 12:17 PM

In Norwegian that's not a very nice word.: Hilde; | Mar 26, 2008 at 12:24 PM

This little dude will go great with my curtains, and when he's done being a throw rug, he'll be an adorable puppy! That's a sweet deal.: Rowan; | Mar 26, 2008 at 12:58 PM

Could IKEA be having fun with us Americans at our expense??!! "Let's call it (dirty word)!!! Ha-ha, imagine all the Americans coming into the store, asking for (dirty word)!!!!", said the IKEA Product Names Committee chairman, wiping away tears of mirth.: Gail; | Mar 26, 2008 at 01:15 PM

so what does SKÖGE mean? Can you describe it without using naughty language?: taj; | Mar 26, 2008 at 01:50 PM

Ok just fyi according to Danish-English dictionary: Sköge means harlot, whore or common prostitute.: drude; | Mar 26, 2008 at 01:54 PM

Well, every puppeh I've ever met is a biscuit-Sköge.: Pheas; | Mar 26, 2008 at 01:59 PM

What a cute puppeh! What breed is puppeh?: Jenn; | Mar 26, 2008 at 02:02 PM

A biscuit-Sköge! :D Gail, I think you're right!: Sandy; | Mar 26, 2008 at 02:03 PM

This thread is promising! And vereh funneh hover text.: Poohbear; | Mar 26, 2008 at 02:08 PM

I LURVE IKEA! I'd buy this lil' (harlot) doggie in a heartbeat! Other good names: Ole, Lena, or Sven.: zeldapie; | Mar 26, 2008 at 02:12 PM

Drude: yes, that's what it means in Norwegian. Not something you would call a puppy, or a rug or a puppy rug.: Hilde; | Mar 26, 2008 at 02:15 PM

Have you ever skritched a puppeh tummeh? How does puppeh react? SKOGE indeed.: lurkertype; | Mar 26, 2008 at 02:50 PM

Looks like a samoyed puppy to me... :): christy; | Mar 26, 2008 at 03:13 PM

But SKÖGE doesn't mean anything in Swedish (althoug it's a bit ugly inb Danish or Norwegian), it could really be an IKEA name :-). Most IKEA names are Swedish personal names or names of towns or villages, but some would actually be a bit embarrasing to ask for, as the frame RIBBA for example ;-): SV; | Mar 26, 2008 at 03:24 PM

sköka is harlot in Swedish. It's kind of close imo.: Hilde; | Mar 26, 2008 at 04:23 PM

Jenn I could be mistaken, but I believe that it's a Samoyed, I had one growing up, they're adorable.: Cristin; | Mar 26, 2008 at 05:27 PM

he looks like a samoyed puppy. i've had two (right now spencer is 6 months old) so i'm pretty darn sure its a sammie! HES SO CUTE!: Lauren; | Mar 26, 2008 at 07:00 PM

This is my puppy.. hes an American Eskimo Dog. And he is the best rug ever. Teehee: Casey G; | Mar 26, 2008 at 07:09 PM

OK, how about prösch? Or snörgel? Do those mean anything nasty?: jenjen; | Mar 26, 2008 at 07:56 PM

gail and pheas, you crack me up :) biscuit-skoge LOL!: ashagato; | Mar 26, 2008 at 08:40 PM

Hey, we don't know. Maybe the dog gets around (and there's nothing wrong with that if it's consensual and safe). Or maybe it's ironic like calling a huge guy "Tiny." Pay for every dance, Selling each romance, Oooh what they're sayin...: berthaslave; | Mar 26, 2008 at 08:50 PM

Ahhhh, FLOOF. I need sleep.: Subhangi; | Mar 26, 2008 at 10:35 PM

I have the floofy cat version of this rug.: Hon Glad; | Mar 27, 2008 at 12:33 AM

@berthaslave: LMAO!! Nice David Lee Roth/Cab Calloway ref!!: Gail; | Mar 27, 2008 at 01:17 AM

jenjen: Those are excellent names, don't mean anything in Scandinavian (until now of course). They are such IKEA words! Snörgel!! xD: Kristin; | Mar 27, 2008 at 02:43 AM

It's adorable how Sweden will always (at least MY always) be known for the weird names we give our furniture. I'd like to see something named "snörgel". I'd buy it allright.: Nucleus; | Mar 27, 2008 at 03:00 AM

I think he looks more like a Snöre.: G.; | Mar 27, 2008 at 03:40 AM

Too cute!: Alex Wells; | Mar 27, 2008 at 04:57 AM

@G. : Snöre is the best! cracked me up! @jenjen : snörgel and prösch are perfect, must be added to the C.O. Glossary in the German section. (We already have a Fraunch section.): Poohbear; | Mar 27, 2008 at 05:18 AM

Ja, sure. Ve didn't haf anytin like dis in de old country. So comfy-lookin too. I vil call him Rya, after my old rug.: ThreeCatNight; | Mar 27, 2008 at 06:02 AM

Sorry to spoil the fun, but there is no Sköge rug in the Ikea product line. There is, though, a couple of Köge rugs. Köge is a Danish town. Can't say if it means anything particular.: Mats, Sweden; | Mar 27, 2008 at 06:25 AM

Hmm... I have a matchingk pic of a kitteh rug that looks remarkably like this. Perhaps from an earlier Ikea line. ;-) Must dig around to see if I can find it.: cheesybird; | Mar 27, 2008 at 07:17 AM

Mats, there are no puppies in the Ikea product line either. We're not so much about accuracy, here, as either "cute" or "funny". Or both. ;) [a thought occurs] [a quick search is performed] ...well, what do you know? Huh. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80132799: Theo; | Mar 27, 2008 at 07:19 AM

Poohbear, you're breaking my brain... now I'm wondering if there's a one-click way to filter the Glossary through a Google translator, into Pig Latin, 1337, LOLspeak, or (better still!) Bork Bork Bork.: Theo; | Mar 27, 2008 at 07:25 AM

*Squish*- YELP- "Oh my God, are you all right?" Jup, jyst stepped on da rug again." "Uff da"............ Repeat several times a day.: Katrina; | Mar 27, 2008 at 08:09 AM

If this was my rug I would never, ever leave the house! All white and fluffy dogs like American Eskimos, Samoyeds, and Great Pyrenees are my fave!! And the chin resting on the front leg - PRICELESS! Casey G., you are so fortunate!: sunnymum; | Mar 27, 2008 at 08:18 AM

Theo cracks me up!: Kiragirl; | Mar 27, 2008 at 08:49 AM

One of my big dreams is to go to an Ikea-store in a non-scandinavian country and hear how they pronounce the product names. Some must be a real challenge! To me they're places,names or actions,and make sense, but for most humans it's just jibberish. Just the tought cracks me up :D: Kaya; | Mar 27, 2008 at 10:03 AM

Kaya just because of Ikea I bought a Swedish to english dictionary. Goes to look in it for snörgal.: roisin formerly ka9q's wife; | Mar 27, 2008 at 10:45 AM

Thanks so much Cristin! : ) I want one! Too bad I live in a one bedroom condo though!: Jenn; | Mar 27, 2008 at 11:29 AM

yup yup- that's an eskie alright. He looks just like Jack-Jack, our 4 month old :) Soooo adorable and fluffy, but we can't take him anywhere because we're always being stopped by people wanting to bask in his proshistude!: Jaxmom; | Mar 27, 2008 at 11:30 AM
