      Well , there is the translated Meaning of Liff called Elimäen tarkoitus by Douglas Adams. Recommemd it.

      War town would actually translate as „town of war“. Which sounds badass.

      Edit: „Village of war“

      Would be nice to see the Finnish names as well, since some of these are not easy to figure out.
      It’s missing kankaanpää = head/end of fabric

      I live at „bottom“. We have a saying here.
      What is the best thing about living at „bottom“?
      You can’t sink any lower 🤣

      There’s some choice items you’re missing, such as the collection of testicles in Kainuu: Kivesjärvi – testicle lake, Kivesvaara – testicle Hill and Kiveslahti – testicle bay

      Where is the „Water Lake“ and the „Little Water Lake“ from „Bay“ / „Cove“? 😀

      I guess Fishing lure stands for *Perho*…
      Perho is a fly as in fly fishing… Well yes, flies are fishing lures as well, but still felt a little bit misleading.

      Juujärvi-Yes lake, Elätti-Provided, Kitka-Friction, Hiirenmaa-Mouseland, Väärä-Wrong, Suuri-Pöljä-Big Dumb

      I see whoever made this shied away from putting in „Terskanperä“.

      And I guess the 490 instances of „Shit Pond“ would’ve been redundant.

      @OP: Make sure to also post this on r/MapPorn. They love these kind of maps.

      not to mention like 20 different pussy lakes

      this reminds me, my ex was rrly weirdly fixated on like conquering Finland, and said he’s gonna name some place „boob island“ and I googled it, we are already 2 steps ahead, we have boob islandS (Tissisaaret)

      Luckily, Injuryville is no more. They changed it to a less humiliating Sastamala.

      The most horrible names in Finland voted by Kotiliesi:

      1. Suolikulli (Urjala)
      2. Velhonvittu (Lavia)
      3. Terskanperä (Siikalatva)
      4. Kuolema (Alajärvi)
      5. Hätäpaskansuo (Heinola)
      6. Hevonperseenmutka (Suomussalmi)
      7. Muorinperse (Kuopio)
      8. Horonkylä (Teuva)
      9. Pierupapinlähde (Orimattila)
      10. Paskarasva (Suomussalmi)

      Have fun translating. The second would be „Wizards cunt“, that got me on both languages 🙂

      5 would be „Emergency shits swamp“

      10 would be „Shitgrease“

      I would be hesitant to travel near Big-Stick-ville and the Beating Hill, also Theft to the east of that. Looks like that whole region is dodgy. Must be the Savonians.

    24. GoldaV123 on

      Paska Lake here in British Columbia, Canada, named by Finnish people = Shit Lake 😆

    25. nordicskye on

      I remember my (very Finnish) ex-boyfriend was trying to convince me that the „town of war“ (which, back then, I translated as „war town“) actually meant „where two rivers meet“. I never got to ask „why“.

    29. Jesse-FIN on

      Ha! You can tell why the Finns got along with the Native Ameeicans so well.

    30. ranjop on

      I have couple of more:

      – Bitch swamp (Ämmässuo)
      – Little Wanker (Pikku Runkku)
      – Big Wanker (Iso Runkku)
