Synonym

In the Norwegian slang, the name " Harry " is a synonym for a very specific type of man; roughly comparable to Manta Manni in the German vernacular of the 1990s. A "Harry" is a somewhat simple prole from disadvantaged backgrounds that stands out both by his behavior, as well as, by its very appearance of the mass. This term is always negative connotation.
