The Swedish word [majstången](javascript:void(0)) means "the maypole" in English. It is a pole decorated with leaves and flowers that is traditionally raised and danced around during Midsummer celebrations in Sweden. The phrase "majstången vet var den ska in" translates to "the maypole knows where it should go in," which humorously refers to the maypole being set into a hole in the ground when being erected for the festivities. Essentially, the maypole is placed firmly into a hole to stand upright during the celebration.
