That dude unboxed those fans and set them up but didn’t even turn them on. What? Got to get that breeze!
Fan? That’s a footrest.
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.
Fair point.
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 led 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?
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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O597Bs6LZ7U

It’s more that both languages are agglutanative, which means they can make new words by mashing together existing ones. A concept that would be two words in English, like “day drinking”, would be one in an agglutanative language.
Of course they do, they spend most days inside their homes on account of the frigid winters 🍺
TIL I am Finnish
But who was phone?
ahh, the good ol’ days
Does it have a negative or positive connotation? Cause it kinda sounds amazing to me.
Alone? Sounds miserable, especially in the dead of winter.
Depends on how you mean it. Can be casual/neutral or negative. It’s more a descriptive term than anything.
Literally my plans for tonight
There’s a mention of this in Alan Wake 2, with a character saying “it’s not sad if it’s intentional!”
Can I still kalsarikannit if it’s not my underwear?
The required uniform for kalsarikannit is underwear.
no, “kalsari” means boxers
Who’s underwear are you getting drunk at home in?
I personally also approve harem pants and onesies
torille
Where the fuck else am I supposed to get drunk alone in my underwear?
Is there a Swedish word for that?
Kalsongfylla apparently.
I think we just call it jail.
Or a pretty fun party.
This post is a Simpsons reference
Good context, thanks gamer
Well simpsons referencing a real Finnish thing, kalsarikännit
What’s Orion Species?
Origin of the Species 🙄
That makes sense. I thought maybe it was a sci fi book.
Creationist sure might brand it as such
Not much, what’s Orion species with you?
I’ve seen that book before, I think it’s “how to COOK with SPICES”
Only in the morning, afternoon is for sleeping it off before the bar
We have a word for that too in English: Tuesday
Preceded by “fuck it, it’s”
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.
Staying home and drinking is nice, especially if your life is normally pretty busy.
But can you do it in someone else’s underwear?
There is probably a better Finn word for that.
Vaihtokalsarikännit. Though that could mean either “switch underwear” or “spare underwear” drinking.
Truly, the Finnish language is a linguistic marvel
This reply deserves more updoots
Kiitos, Kusimulkku.
You are welcome. Though as the name implies, you might not want to switch underwear with me
Only if it would’ve otherwise been a laundry day
