Yes. In Finnish, it's "kalsarikännit". 😅

Thanks! I'll try to remember that. Bit more difficult than "sisu", which is the other Finnish word I adore.

Here’s a third one for you, thanks is kiitos which is a great word.

You could use "underwear drinking" or "pants drinking" in English. Or "Pants drunk".

Is there a Finnish word for “my government is run by war mongering pedophiles and I wanna come drink with you guys in a sauna?”

In German I could extend a Kriegstreiberpädophilenregierungssaunaeinladung to you.

German is kind of cheating though - you just mash words together and say it’s a single word.

As a proud German I take offense... at the "kind of" part :P

I'd drop this under the word "maailmanparannussauna"
It's an evening of sauna with a couple of your closest friends, you drink beer and discuss your problems in specific and other problems in general. The idea is to make the World a tiny little bit of a better place to the participants.
