Ano derives from the word anonymous. The term originated in the late 90's from the suburbs of
Oslo and is now a widely used term in urban Oslo.
To be
ano, is the same as
being cool, anonymous or safe.
It can also be used with negative prefix u-. (uano =
unsafe).
On a scale from -uano to -ano(=-negative to- positive), ano can be used to describe how the general mood is within a natural setting or the current value and appearance of any given physical object.
Example 1:
If you take a piss right in front of the cops, it's very uano and you'll probably get busted. But if you go in to the woods for a piss, where the cops can't see you, that's very
ano.
Example 2:
To guys spot a girl:
Friend 1: "Look at the ano ass on that bitch.
tight as hell".
Friend 2: "Yeah! For sure, her ass is tight and ano. But she has an uano
big nose. The most uano nose I've ever seen in my life. Fuck that uano looking bitch!
