Fingerpori



hard to translate, 'käy huonosti minulle' means 'poorly suited for me' but also 'bad things happen to me'



hard to translate, 'mummola' is where your granny (mummo) lives, but -la ending is also commonly used for eg. Vekkula which is a kid's playground at an amusement park in Helsinki


- Ozone stinks
- True

impossible to translate, otsoni means ozone, but it also means my Otso where Otso is a man's name but also means bear. The official word used for bears is karhu, but there's an old superstition that you shouldn't call a bear by its true name or it will hear and come to find you; instead you should use a roundabout reference to confuse the beast. Even karhu was originally a euphemism like this, stemming from karhea, coarse, due to the animal's coarse fur.

Other bearphemisms include ohto, kouvo, mesikämmen (mead paw), omena (apple because it's round), kontio (crawler), nalle and metsän kuningas (king of the forest).

When they passed out body parts in the comics today, I got Cathy's nose and Dick Tracy's private parts.

The Nancy leftovers comic feels off. Like if Fritz is serving the leftovers after heating them up in a microwave she can just say "dinner is ready". And if they're made into new dishes like turkey noodle soup then she could say something like "Turkey noodle soup is ready".
