Common but slightly inaccurate term used in
Norway for describing persons born in one of the three northernmost counties in Norway;
Nordland,
Troms and
Finnmark.
Nowadays, Nordlending is just the third worst thing you can be in Norway. In the sixties, it was regarded as being tantamount to a caveman. Most Nordlendings live in Oslo these days, since North Norway is full of German tourists .
