Is there anything there isn't a wiki about?

Moldova for a convincing win.

Considering Finns take the booze cruise ferry over to Estonia to rape/pillage, I think they're beefing the Estonian stats and not getting credit where credit is due.

But still you gotta give it up to the Moldovans.

I know this is thread drift but..met a coupla moldovian girls working in a bar (that mud knows) in Pensacola Beach FLA. Spec-bloody-tacular specimens. Who knew?

[Like a Boss]

So are you saying that if the US invaded Canada , Canada would kick the US's ass??

Now that's fucking SISU. The vodka drinker in the white pajamas, Dude. Worthy fucking adversary.

Every Finn worth his salt dies from heavy intoxication, then sauna, then diving into a freezing lake or snow bank-induced cardiac arrest.

esp this guy

Simo Häyhä (December 17, 1905 – April 1, 2002), nicknamed "White Death" by the Red Army, was a Finnish soldier. Using a standard iron-sighted, bolt action rifle in the Winter War, he has the highest recorded number of confirmed kills in any major war.

Häyhä was born in the municipality of Rautjärvi near the present-day border of Finland and Russia, and started his military service in 1925. Before entering combat, Häyhä was a farmer and a hunter. His farmhouse was reportedly full of trophies for marksmanship. It was during the Winter War (1939–1940), between Finland and the Soviet Union, that he began his duty as a sniper and fought for the Finnish Army against the Red Army. In temperatures between −20 and −40 degrees Celsius (−4 and −40 degrees Fahrenheit), dressed completely in white camouflage, Häyhä was credited with 505 confirmed kills of Soviet soldiers, and 542 if including the unconfirmed deaths. The unofficial Finnish frontline figure from the battlefield of Kollaa places the number of Häyhä's sniper kills over 800.

Just think what the Finns can do when they're not drinking.


My Mom was full Finn so would get worked up during a Finn - Swed hockey game. I remember a Canadian announcer talking about the Finn- Swede rivalry, that the Finns though the Sweds were a bunch of fairies and Swed thought the Finns were knife and broken bottle wheeling drunks.

Oh the party, well the Merry Christmas wasn't used as he didn't do his usual Xmas yell of Merry Fucking Xmas. This is probably the most upscale party in the Blaeberry for the year. So he's the local colour though he did grab a women's ass.

I'm from Finland and this thread is funny. First of all, forget everything with an "ä". You're American so you won't be able to pronounce it anyway.

Some of the suggestions from f2f are good. Forget about "piru" though, it is not really a proper swearword. "Perkele" is good, but rather old-fashioned. Were you to utter such a word in Helsinki, the modern hip capital of Finland, you'd get some disgusted looks and everyone would instantly associate you to be some redneck farmer from the countryside. Though who knows, with all the hipsters nowadays "perkele" might be acceptable again. If you do use it, remember to roll the "r".

So far the essential modern Finnish swearword "vittu" is missing. Rough translation: "cunt", but it is used much the same way as you'd use "fuck" in English. The linguistic beauty of this word is that you can use it in so many different ways. It works as a noun, adjective, adverb or a verb... You might want to check Wikipedia for the full details( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_profanity , scroll down to "vittu"). But here are some good, easy and short examples of what you could yell back to the Finnish guy:

"(Nyt) vittu hiljaa!" = "Shut the fuck up (now)!"
"Suksi (hevon)vittuun!" = "Fuck off!". Literary meaning: "ski away to a (horse's) cunt". Every skier should praise the Finnish language here as this is a very common swear phrase in Finland... in which other country do people continuously tell each other to ski to a cunt?

Or maybe something with the Christmas theme after all?:
"Vitun hyvää joulua!" = "Merry fucking Christmas!"

Voi vittu, I just realized that I was already late with my previous post. Maybe my tips will help you next year and I hope the Finnish guy will fill his proper Finnish role by getting proper drunk...

Edit: There is an explanation for the statistic above, which would seem to suggest that Finns get less drunk than the French or the Germans. That is not true since countries such as France and Germany have a civilized drinking culture, which means that they sip a glass or two of wine (or drink a pint of beer) during dinner every now and then (and sometimes, gasp, even during work lunches and such..!), and this adds up to a lot. In Finland we do not do this, first of all because having even a small beer during daytime is considered vulgar and secondly because wine and beer are so expensive in restaurants and shops that you wouldn't be able to afford it anyway.

So we Finns live in complete abstinence of alcohol all the way until... FRIDAY! In Finland there is no such thing as "drinking one beer". We have discovered that if we concentrate all of our alcohol usage to just one or two evenings per week it is still possible to get smashing drunk and cause a lot of trouble. Friday is the day when we cash in the profits gained from Nokia stocks. After that we'll crowd the government owned alcohol stores, buy the least expensive alcohol we can find and get smashed. Repeat on Saturday. And if the Nokia stock has been going down, well that doesn't matter, we'll always find the money for drinking, and what better reason to drink than to grieve the downfall of Nokia stock and at the same time the Finnish economy! (there has been a lot of this lately)

Awesome. I'll have to remember this one.

I love it when I am right ...just goes to prove you can make stats mean anything
