väglöss

väglöss

"Väglöss" in English means "road lice," a colloquial term for slow-moving vehicles or traffic.

Here, 'väglöss' is used to indicate a literal meaning of insects that may be present on or near the road.

Jag såg några väglöss på landsvägen igår.

I saw some road-insects on the country road yesterday.

In this sentence, 'väglöss' might metaphorically refer to some kind of nuisance or unwelcome aspect associated with travelers or roads.

Turister undvek att stanna eftersom området var känt för sina väglöss.

Tourists avoided stopping because the area was known for its road-insects.

Here again, 'väglöss' could either directly refer to actual insects or metaphorically be used for small elements that scatter or are undesirable on roads.

Efter stormen fylldes vägarna av skräp och väglöss.

After the storm, the roads were filled with debris and road-insects.
