Perkele!*

Who said Finns have no sense of humor?



* Perkele
An essential Finnish curse-word denoting the devil, and typically pronounced with an exaggerated rolling of the "r" for added emphasis. It is often one of the first words in the Finnish language that foreigners visiting this country pick up.

  1. Thank you for this find!

    I am very happy to see Heikki with Mika's sense of humor rather than Kimi's!

  2. I could see Heikki making guest appearances on MacGruber...:)
