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.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Only if it would've otherwise been a laundry day

[–] supernicepojo 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

There is probably a better Finn word for that.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (3 children)

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

We have a word for that too in English: Tuesday

[–] Geobloke 6 points 8 months ago

Preceded by "fuck it, it's"

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 8 months ago

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

[–] rockSlayer 4 points 8 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 23 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (4 children)

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 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Aggravationstation 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Rat-arsed, fizzled, fucked, fooked, fecked

[–] random_character_a 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

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 3 points 8 months ago

Fair point.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

There's a very popular (in the UK at least) comedian called Michael McIntyre who has a joke about how just about any word can become a euphemism for drunk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O597Bs6LZ7U

Well simpsons referencing a real Finnish thing, kalsarikännit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Good context, thanks gamer

[–] ladytaters 7 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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 4 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

TIL I am Finnish

[–] sonovebitch 5 points 8 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] force 4 points 8 months ago

no, "kalsari" means boxers

[–] LemmyKnowsBest 3 points 8 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 17 points 8 months ago

It's called a Kalsarikannit chair

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Search for "swivel lounge chair"

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

[–] SpeedLimit55 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] toynbee 4 points 8 months ago

Fan? That's a footrest.

[–] nifty 3 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Oddly specific...
