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).
That dude unboxed those fans and set them up but didn’t even turn them on. What? Got to get that breeze!
Fan? That’s a footrest.
Of course they do, they spend most days inside their homes on account of the frigid winters 🍺
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?
It’s called a Kalsarikannit chair
Search for “swivel lounge chair”
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.
But can you do it in someone else’s underwear?
There is probably a better Finn word for that.
Vaihtokalsarikännit. Though that could mean either “switch underwear” or “spare underwear” drinking.

Depends on how you mean it. Can be casual/neutral or negative. It’s more a descriptive term than anything.
This post is a Simpsons reference
Well simpsons referencing a real Finnish thing, kalsarikännit
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?
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.
I’ll start: drunk, pissed, hammered, plastered, sloshed, comatosed, wasted, tipsy, smashed.
We have a word for that too in English: Tuesday
Preceded by “fuck it, it’s”
TIL I am Finnish
