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.

[-] Snowyday@startrek.website 23 points 9 months ago

But can you do it in someone else’s underwear?

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 8 points 9 months ago

Only if it would've otherwise been a laundry day

[-] supernicepojo@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

There is probably a better Finn word for that.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 23 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Vaihtokalsarikännit. Though that could mean either "switch underwear" or "spare underwear" drinking.

Staying home and drinking is nice, especially if your life is normally pretty busy.

[-] funnystuff97@lemmy.world 41 points 9 months ago

We have a word for that too in English: Tuesday

[-] Geobloke@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Preceded by "fuck it, it's"

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 22 points 9 months ago

Does it have a negative or positive connotation? Cause it kinda sounds amazing to me.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 29 points 9 months ago

Depends on how you mean it. Can be casual/neutral or negative. It's more a descriptive term than anything.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Literally my plans for tonight

Where the fuck else am I supposed to get drunk alone in my underwear?

Is there a Swedish word for that?

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?

[-] Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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.

[-] lauha@lemmy.one 21 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] LixWindoz@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

I’ll start: drunk, pissed, hammered, plastered, sloshed, comatosed, wasted, tipsy, smashed.

[-] Aggravationstation@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Rat-arsed, fizzled, fucked, fooked, fecked

[-] random_character_a@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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".

Don't forget "powder" and, as my old neighbors in Boston used to say, "The fuck is this shit?"

[-] Aggravationstation@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Fair point.

Well simpsons referencing a real Finnish thing, kalsarikännit

[-] GuyFi@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 9 months ago

Good context, thanks gamer

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 9 months ago
[-] ladytaters@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

There's a mention of this in Alan Wake 2, with a character saying "it's not sad if it's intentional!"

[-] jtk@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 9 months ago

In Google Translate, without the 2 dots on the third a, I get "Squid Ducks". With the dots I get "Skullcaps".

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 10 points 9 months ago

No idea what Google Translate is on about. I think it might try to "fix" kalsari (men's underwear) to kalmari (I guess a sorta squid).

[-] PrinceWith999Enemies@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Calamari is indeed squid, but that just raises questions about what we would find in Finnish underwear.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 months ago

TIL I am Finnish

[-] sonovebitch@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Can I still kalsarikannit if it's not my underwear?

[-] force@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

no, "kalsari" means boxers

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

The required uniform for kalsarikannit is underwear.

This is not relevant, but I've been looking for a chair like this forever. Does anyone have any idea what it's called, or where I would find it?

[-] ziggurat@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

It's called a Kalsarikannit chair

[-] nailbar@sopuli.xyz 5 points 9 months ago

Search for "swivel lounge chair"

Of course they do, they spend most days inside their homes on account of the frigid winters 🍺

[-] jtk@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 9 months ago

Looks like this might be his first time ever using fans.

[-] SpeedLimit55@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

That dude unboxed those fans and set them up but didn’t even turn them on. What? Got to get that breeze!

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Fan? That's a footrest.

[-] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 9 months ago

Oddly specific...

[-] TruthAintEasy@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

Only in the morning, afternoon is for sleeping it off before the bar

[-] db2@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago
[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago

Not much, what’s Orion species with you?

[-] jtk@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 9 months ago

I've seen that book before, I think it's "how to COOK with SPICES"

[-] banichan@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Origin of the Species 🙄

[-] db2@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

That makes sense. I thought maybe it was a sci fi book.
