I didn't know there were any curse words in Finnish!:)

I can remember in Spanish class, when the subject was brought up by some of the students, the instructor said there were no Spanish curse words. At least that is what she said!

I see you have worthless fill spouts on your petrol cans over there also. They might be the right angle for filling automobiles, but practically useless for filling small engines.

I believe the Finnish language is related to Hungarian. Hungarian is famous for its rich vocabulary of swears. I recall it won a contest for most creative swear with a phrase that translated as "May the heavens part and God take a crap on your head". Gotta admit we don't have anything so colorful in English. In any case, I'm pretty sure the Finns know how to swear.

Yeah, if you're trying to fill them from a 5 gallon jug it can be ridiculous. That's why I have several small 1 gallon jugs for lawnmowers, weed whackers, pumps, chain saws, etc. Who in the right mind would try and fill a small tank from a large hard to handle jug? :)

I had a small hand pump that fit into the large jugs at one time that I used to transfer gas to small engines but it deteriorated and I never got another to replace it. I still used the small jugs for mixed gas though. They must have something like that over there.

Added:
Reminds me of a sign in the boys locker room of Jr. High School. It read; "Profanity is a sign of weakness". I still live by that.

Yes but small cans are slower to use... and You have to fill those small cans also...

In those cases like mine You find right words automatically... ; D

My favorite Finnish swears is "Perkele"... also maybe strongest swear in Finnish language..

I was just kidding of course. I suspect all languages have some. I sure know Spanish has plenty.:) Just another bunch of "stuff" they taught me in school. :laughing:
