Sini Tuulia<p>Sometimes you just go about your morning and someone in the group chat uses an expression that hits you like a bean bag filled with sudden hilarity. This time it was "persreiätön äpärä" where äpärä means bastard, persreikä is arsehole. And when you're reiätön you're sans hole, and thus it means that you are a bastard that has been slowly filling up with shit since the moment of birth, and are thus spewing it about no matter what you do. You are that full of shit, of ignominious birth, and nobody even wanted to recognise you. It's also a fun thing to say to Moomintroll since he is drawn without one.</p><p>Finnish swearing: colourful, effective, concise, with multiple layers, respectful to tradition, just sounds fun to say!</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Finnish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Finnish</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Swearing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Swearing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Language</span></a></p>

Sini Tuulia<p>"Paska" means shit. From this we can create a very large array of different expressions, these being only some of them:</p><p>Kissanpaska, koiranpaska, hevonpaska.<br>Cat shit, dog shit, horse shit - but colloquially the latter means anything that is unreasonable or lying.</p><p>Ulkopaska - Outside shit. "Se on jotain ulkopaskaa vaan." Meaning the innocuous dirt that gets on clothes, pets and children when outside.<br>Sisäpaska - Indoors shit. Denoting the harmless gunk that gets on clothes, pets and children when they're inside.<br>"Linssit ihan paskassa taas..." - The glasses or lenses are covered in random dirt and smudges again.<br>Paskanjauhaja - Someone who chews the shit, which is to say talks a lot and often of little importance.<br>Paskanpuhuja - Someone who speaks shit, a bullshitter, often spreader of malicious untruths. <br>"Vittu mitä paskaa." - Fuck, what shit. Expression used to denote any experience, circumstance or event where the thing is completely fucked all the way down, with no redeeming qualities.<br>"Paskaks män." - When something has been broken, become irreparable and unrepairable.<br>Paska mäihä - Shitty luck. When someone is experiencing misfortune, usually due to no fault of their own.<br>"Paska juttu." - Shitty thing. When expressing condolences when some type of horseshit has occurred, you've been subjected to injustice, and/or your thing has been broken in an unrepairable fashion.</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Finnish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Finnish</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Swearing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Swearing</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Language</span></a></p>
