ickplantLet's kalsarikannit it up
db2What’s Orion Species?
Not much, what’s Orion species with you?
ばにちゃんOrigin of the Species 🙄
That makes sense. I thought maybe it was a sci fi book.
Creationist sure might brand it as such
jtkI’ve seen that book before, I think it’s “how to COOK with SPICES”
This post is a Simpsons reference
Good context, thanks gamer
Well simpsons referencing a real Finnish thing, kalsarikännit
In Google Translate, without the 2 dots on the third a, I get “Squid Ducks”. With the dots I get “Skullcaps”.
No idea what Google Translate is on about. I think it might try to “fix” kalsari (men’s underwear) to kalmari (I guess a sorta squid).
Calamari is indeed squid, but that just raises questions about what we would find in Finnish underwear.
Looks like this might be his first time ever using fans.
Can confirm, have done often. Often it just implies drinking at home without leaving anywhere. Being just in your underwear is optional. You can also do it with another person if you live together.
But can you do it in someone else’s underwear?
There is probably a better Finn word for that.

rubenKiitos, Kusimulkku.
You are welcome. Though as the name implies, you might not want to switch underwear with me
This reply deserves more updoots
Truly, the Finnish language is a linguistic marvel
Only if it would’ve otherwise been a laundry day
norbertStaying home and drinking is nice, especially if your life is normally pretty busy.
Jo MiranTIL I am Finnish
We have a word for that too in English: Tuesday
Preceded by “fuck it, it’s”
Does it have a negative or positive connotation? Cause it kinda sounds amazing to me.
Literally my plans for tonight
Depends on how you mean it. Can be casual/neutral or negative. It’s more a descriptive term than anything.
UnderpantsWeevilAlone? Sounds miserable, especially in the dead of winter.
TruthAintEasyOnly in the morning, afternoon is for sleeping it off before the bar
Oddly specific…
But who was phone?
ahh, the good ol’ days
That dude unboxed those fans and but didn’t even turn them on. What? Got to get that breeze!
Fan? That’s a footrest.
niftyOf course they do, they spend most days inside their homes on account of the frigid winters 🍺
This is not relevant, but I’ve been looking for a chair like this forever. Does anyone have any idea what it’s called, or where I would find it?
It’s called a Kalsarikannit chair
NailbarSearch for “swivel lounge chair”
Random_Character_ASomething from Arne Jacobsen? Model is quite common in nordic swivel chairs from 70’s
Wife says that IKEA had a cheap copy at some point, but I didn’t find anything to link.
Is this like how Inuits have a bunch of words for snow because they deal with so much of it, Finnish people have different kinds of getting drunk?
English has many words for snow too, you just don’t think them as words for snow, such as snow, ice, slush, sleet, flake and hail off the top of my head.
English, especially british one, has at least as many words for drunk as in finnish.
I’ll start: drunk, pissed, hammered, plastered, sloshed, comatosed, wasted, tipsy, smashed.
Rat-arsed, fizzled, fucked, fooked, fecked
Isn’t “fooked”, “fecked” colloquial variations by location on “fucked”, or is there some fine difference. I am let to belive that Irish prefer “fecked”.
Pretty much, but the comment I was replying to already contained most of the words I knew so just chipping in rat-arsed and fucked seemed a bit pointless.
White girl wasted
Vomiting, barefoot and full of semen?
Fair point.
Don’t forget “powder” and, as my old neighbors in Boston used to say, “The fuck is this shit?”
There’s a very popular (in the UK at least) comedian called Michael McIntyre who has a joke about how just about any word can become a euphemism for drunk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O597Bs6LZ7U
Michael Mcintyre - drunk
Can I still kalsarikannit if it’s not my underwear?
no, “kalsari” means boxers
I personally also approve harem pants and onesies
The required uniform for kalsarikannit is underwear.
Who’s underwear are getting drunk at home in?
Where the fuck else am I supposed to get drunk alone in my underwear?
Is there a Swedish word for that?
