I can add that the word "fett" is also used in youth speak in Sweden and
it means the same as in youth speak in Germany. Btw, I wonder which
country this meaning of "Fett/fett/fedt" originates from. Does it come
from Germany, Denmark, Sweden or somewhere else? I think it was used in
Denmark before it was used in Sweden because I heard it being used by
Danish youth long before I heard people starting to use this expression
in Sweden. However, I might be wrong. Maybe it's just because I'm not
among youth myself that I think so.
