    Ogräs in swedish, gräs is herb and the O is like making it not-grass.

    Röka gräs is smoking weed though so suddenly it's getting the good treatment.

    Herb is ört in Swedish. Gräs is better translated as grass, so ogräs is non-grass. This also enables a funny way to insult someone's lawn -- since lawn is gräsmatta (grass carpet) -- by calling it an ogräsmatta.
