And the word in Scandinavian languages for "bottle deposit" or "collecting the bottle deposit" -is pant
- as there's not an equivalent in English it's been adopted by Scandi speakers when talking in English
- used as in "Hey SD it's your turn to go panting with Anna" :shock:

I think native English speakers should adopt it also - that and the "negative yes"

EDIT: and panting is generally done at panting machines; which might make panting the opposite of vending?
