Morels are the only edible mushroom (but remember, they still must be boiled thrice)
Creamy mushroom salad. Eating a bit of it on a cruise-dinner out of pure curiosity nearly ruined the otherwise great meal. Bitter, acidic taste. Every bit you eat kinda stings.

Well, me and my little brother use a lot of l33t...
..as a kind of a joke, because our thirteen year old middle brother is dangerously hooked on CS, thus using lots of time, which could be used to woo-yay in b3ta. I am from Finland, so l33t therefore gets quite a interesting and an awkward accent. I personally use the word "gay", or the Finnish alternative: "homo/homoa", when something sucks, and the expressions: "ultrak00l/cyberiä", when something is in order.

A typical swear-one-liner would be "Voihan vadelma", which translates simply as: "Oh raspberry". The word "Juippi" (slacker/wanker) is also frequently used.

Also, when a rampage shall occur I shout out: "Jumalauta, mitä riehujia!" (could be translated as: "Goddman, what barmies!")

Now you can spend your afternoon trying to pronounce these. Sorry for the long post, but always when I was going to send this, I suddenly remembered a another popular saying and had to include it too...

Well, I' ve grown to hate every single dance/euro-dance-song...
we play in our junior high's crappy could-be-a-disco-wannabe-if-you-were-blind-and-deaf-occasions. You see, in Finland we have these guys from the occupational school, who get a crappy japanese car (typically a Toyota Corolla dx) and start "tuning" it. By tuning, I mean adding humongous bass-speakers, air-fresheners, shaded windows and even strobo-lights into your car.

And then, during the weekends they just cruise around endlessly in swarms, playing euro-dance really loud and trying to get some chicks (usually much younger than them) inside their cars. They are often drunk too, due to the finnish drinking-culture, which has been like that for us, males, for many decades.

Something i particularly hate..mhh

Imperio - Amor inifitus

It rocks.

Ps. BTW, the bass-speaker problem has got pretty serious in Norway, 'cause 30% of young males there have a hearing-aid (heard this info from my dad sometime, is propably as inaccurate as shit).
