UrsprungFrom Old Swedish plugger, from Middle Low German plock, pluck. Of uncertain ultimate origin: perhaps from the same ultimate source as Dutch plag (“cut of sod”), itself of uncertain origin, perhaps a pre-Germanic (but Indo-European) substrate in which the p- has not undergone Grimm's law; compare Latvian plēst (“to tear off”). Also compare Proto-Germanic *flahaną (“to skin”).

“– Var är du? – Jag är i plugget.” — – Where are you? – I'm in school.
“Du (efter plugget), det fixar sig alltid. Du (efter plugget), det löser sig nog. Du (efter plugget), ta en dag i taget. Du (Ja, jag brukar ha tur).” — You [or "Hey," as a kind of vocative] (after school), it always works out. You (after school), it'll probably be fine. You (after school), take one day at a time. You (Yeah, I'm usually lucky).
