Fedtede

Fedtede refers to a colloquial term often used in Danish to describe something that is greasy or oily. It can be applied to food that has been cooked with a significant amount of fat, leading to a slick or unctuous texture. For example, fried potatoes might be described as fedtede if they are overly greasy. Beyond food, the term can also be used to describe hair that appears unwashed and has an oily sheen, or surfaces that have accumulated a layer of grease. In a broader, metaphorical sense, "fedtede" can sometimes be used to describe someone or something as unpleasantly smooth, smarmy, or insincere, though this is a less common usage than its literal meaning related to oiliness. The origin of the word is Germanic, related to the English word "fat." Its usage is primarily informal and conversational.
