The original meaning of the word nar is similar to the English 'jester': a person who entertains the public or an audience by making a fool of themselves or of others. When calling someone a nar, the correct phrase is din nar. However, din nar actually means "you are a nar". The same grammar applies with all insults: din idiot, dit fjols, din taber (you idiot, you fool, you loser) or din klovn (you clown). The latter is a milder version of din nar.
