Words to live by
Once again, we had to rely on Google Translate to give us its version of what this Finnish term means. According to Google, Kalsarikännit translates into… buttocks. If you don’t believe us, check it out for yourself. However, like other languages, a single word can have a certain connotation tied to it that changes its meaning entirely.
According to whoever designed this shirt, Kalsarikännit means drinking alone in nothing but your underwear with no intention of going out. In English, we call this the ideal weekend. From our understanding of Finnish culture, nobody makes plans to meet anybody, regardless of the day of the week. It turns out that we’ve been Finnish this entire time!
