Can confirm, have done often. Often it just implies drinking at home without leaving anywhere. Being just in your underwear is optional. You can also do it with another person if you live together.
English has many words for snow too, you just don't think them as words for snow, such as snow, ice, slush, sleet, flake and hail off the top of my head.
English, especially british one, has at least as many words for drunk as in finnish.
Isn't "fooked", "fecked" colloquial variations by location on "fucked", or is there some fine difference. I am led to belive that Irish prefer "fecked".
Pretty much, but the comment I was replying to already contained most of the words I knew so just chipping in rat-arsed and fucked seemed a bit pointless.
There's a very popular (in the UK at least) comedian called Michael McIntyre who has a joke about how just about any word can become a euphemism for drunk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O597Bs6LZ7U

But can you do it in someone else’s underwear?
Only if it would've otherwise been a laundry day
There is probably a better Finn word for that.
Vaihtokalsarikännit. Though that could mean either "switch underwear" or "spare underwear" drinking.
Kiitos, Kusimulkku.
You are welcome. Though as the name implies, you might not want to switch underwear with me
Truly, the Finnish language is a linguistic marvel
This reply deserves more updoots
Staying home and drinking is nice, especially if your life is normally pretty busy.
We have a word for that too in English: Tuesday
Preceded by "fuck it, it's"
Does it have a negative or positive connotation? Cause it kinda sounds amazing to me.
Depends on how you mean it. Can be casual/neutral or negative. It's more a descriptive term than anything.
Literally my plans for tonight
Alone? Sounds miserable, especially in the dead of winter.
Where the fuck else am I supposed to get drunk alone in my underwear?
Is there a Swedish word for that?
Kalsongfylla apparently.

I think we just call it jail.
Or a pretty fun party.
Is this like how Inuits have a bunch of words for snow because they deal with so much of it, Finnish people have different kinds of getting drunk?

I’ll start: drunk, pissed, hammered, plastered, sloshed, comatosed, wasted, tipsy, smashed.
Rat-arsed, fizzled, fucked, fooked, fecked

Vomiting, barefoot and full of semen?
Fair point.

There's a mention of this in Alan Wake 2, with a character saying "it's not sad if it's intentional!"
TIL I am Finnish
In Google Translate, without the 2 dots on the third a, I get "Squid Ducks". With the dots I get "Skullcaps".
No idea what Google Translate is on about. I think it might try to "fix" kalsari (men's underwear) to kalmari (I guess a sorta squid).
Calamari is indeed squid, but that just raises questions about what we would find in Finnish underwear.
Can I still kalsarikannit if it's not my underwear?
no, "kalsari" means boxers
The required uniform for kalsarikannit is underwear.
I personally also approve harem pants and onesies
Who's underwear are you getting drunk at home in?
This is not relevant, but I've been looking for a chair like this forever. Does anyone have any idea what it's called, or where I would find it?
It's called a Kalsarikannit chair
Search for "swivel lounge chair"
Something from Arne Jacobsen? Model is quite common in nordic swivel chairs from 70's

Not much, what’s Orion species with you?
I've seen that book before, I think it's "how to COOK with SPICES"
Origin of the Species 🙄
That makes sense. I thought maybe it was a sci fi book.
Creationist sure might brand it as such
Oddly specific...
