Getapulien

== Swedish == === Etymology === Compound of get (“goat”) +‎ Apulien (“Apulia, Italian region”). Likely originated from getpul (“goat bestialist”). The perceived notion that both regions have poor soil that is better suited for grazing than cultivation, with goats being a fairly hardy livestock, are likely attributing factors. First attested in 1846. === Proper noun === Getapulien n (genitive Getapuliens) (archaic, humorous) synonym of Småland (“region in southern Sweden”) or as a fictional location therein, especially its most barren and desolate areas. ==== Related terms ==== getapulisk (adjective) getapuliansk (adjective) === References ===
