Norwegian here: Never heard this expression. Think there must be a misunderstanding.

ShadySlim :
I’m a 47 year old Norwegian and have never heard anyone say this. In my part of the country we usually say «can’t complain» if anyone’s asking how we’re doing 😌

It is like how we older ones here in northern Sweden sometimes say "even pains" (jämna plågor) as a response 😂

As a norwegian who has seen this specific saying going around online, it is only said in specific parts of the country. Most Norwegians have never heard this irl

RestlessJenny 🇪🇺 :
Another common answer is “still alive”, “it’s going”, or something along the lines of “my head is above the water”. We’re really positive 😝
