This got him disciplined on many occasions. His name is [[Series/SledgeHammer Stålhammar]].
** Dealing with a sensitive case of art fraud that implicates Swedish royalty, Bäckström interviews a minor member of the nobility, who realises he's out of his depth and cheerfully bamboozles him. Her chilldhood nickname that stuck is ''Pyttan''; while in Swedish this is derived from ''pytta'' meaning "Tiny" or "Titch", its pronunciation is almost the French ''putain'', meaning "whore" or "slut".

She's actually saying "Nein" (German for "no"). (The backstory on this moment being that Doug is in a panic at having overslept and confused as to why, as he set his alarm for nine o'clock. But since [[InMyLanguageThatSoundsLike "nine" and "nein" sound exactly alike]], ''she'' thought he was saying "''No'' alarm" and either didn't set it or turned it off, thinking he didn't want it).
