The waterfall that flows only two months a year
Mardalsfossen, one of Norwayâs tallest waterfalls with a 705-meter drop, flows only during the summer months of July and August. The rest of the year, the water is diverted to a hydroelectric power station, but each summer itâs temporarily released to allow visitors to experience the waterfall in its natural glory.

PS> Google translated from SunnmĂžre dialect (with some help)
I think âsqueezedâ is the better translation. âPinchâ is what my wife does to my thigh when sheâs mad at me.

I didnât realise that you understood Nynorsk.
Here is the original text of the catch line in SunnmĂžre dialect:
«Ej e ungkar, og ej he dobbelseng!» but Google didnât manage to decipher that on: âNot a bachelor, and not a double bed!â
I helped that one along, but missed the âpinchâ vs. âsqueezeâ.
I totally agree with your translation though. 
I had to laugh, thinking of her pinching the dudeâs leg. I donât understand Nynorsk, but I do understand context!
