And something someone wrote on a forum: Taidat olla pihalla kuin puutarhaletku. XDDDDD

A rough translation: You seem to be out like a garden hose.

Means that you really, really don't get something and unfortunately loses most of the funny in translation.

Much like saying that someone doesn't have all her Moomins in the valley. ...Okay, that'll never get old. XDDDDD

I'm reading Pratchett's Nation right now and I quite like it.

However, there's one little detail that probably didn't mean much to Pratchett but does to me (and to many other Finns, I suspect). Or rather, he thought Pilu was a nice name for a man while I think that even Twinkle would've been better.

Unfortunately Pilu is just one letter away from pillu which means pussy.

And I'm not talking about a cat.
