Definition

A Norwegian term for someone whose name gets misspelled constantly, named after a real mayor whose own newspaper couldn't spell his name right—the ultimate spelling curse.

Example Usage

My friend's last name is Kowalski but people write it as Kowalsky so often that he's basically a hodnemyr at this point.
