Greta? Explanation: Could this be it? The names Greta, Inga and Ingrid seem to be internationally adopted as truly genuine Swedish female names. (Maybe because all of them are associated to very famous actresses - Garbo, Tidblad and Bergman) But, this is just a guess! |

gullet (sweetie, honey) Explanation: "Gullet" means "sweetie", "baby" or "love" in Swedish. It would not be the preferred term of address for female customs officials. |

gå leta? (go find it) Explanation: Maybe a little risky to say to the customs personnel, especially if it is a women but it sounds like something someone would say to trick someone else into doing a "blooper". |
