activity Explanation: 'Ös' is slang for generally high tempo of the ongoing activity being it music, dancing, the performance of a car etc. How to convert it into corresponding American/English I don't really know. Another word used in Stockholm is 'klös' (=to claw, scratch) meaning you do'nt leave the party un-affected or the car has a very good performance. |
