It's Time to Stop Being Pedantic About the Word Viking - A Rant (2018x4)

Date de diffusion: Jan 14, 2018

Is it okay to use the term "viking" for non-warriors from Scandinavia during the Dark Ages? In this video I'm going to argue it's totally fine and why suggesting otherwise is, in my opinion, a bit silly and pedantic. This is not an attack on my subscribblers, you guys are finer than a stroopwafel whose inner syrup has melted to the temperature of a freshly baked oliebol, only a venting toward some of these "hipster historians" who thinks my use of the word viking warrants hate comments. Hope you can enjoy it!
