  2. Many #Faroese #neologisms reuse existing words. The word “#fløga” is not an exception. With its original meaning being the layer on a stack (of hay) and thick slice (of bread) it now also means the compact disc (#CD). The thick layer of data, perhaps?

    Pictured is the debut album of the folk-metal band #Hamradun released in 2015. #Music CD would be called #ljómfløga in Faroese.
