Helsinki Incident
The Helsinki Incident was recently cited in the 2004 film "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" starring Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller. During the final match sportcaster Cotton McKnight (Gary Cole) announces "Let me tell you, a double-fault final-play elimination hasn't occurred since the Helsinki episode of 1919, and I think we all remember how THAT turned out!" The 'incident' refers to a Finnish milk maiden named Oona Maarit Lohtander held captive as a rebel after the Finnish Civil War in 1918. While a prisoner on the fortress island of Suomenlinna in Helsinki she learned that her fiance Jarno Enestam was summarily executed by one of the guards of the camp. Vowing to avenge her lover's death, she arranged for her brother, also captive, to strangle the guard that night after she lured him into her bunkhouse for sex. It was absolutely pitch black in the compound and the bunkhouse, and after entering he approached the bunk where he thought his sister was 'engaging' the prison guard. He efficiently dispatched who he thought was the guard and retreated back to his bunkhouse. It turned out that he visited the wrong bunkhouse and strangled a young pregnant woman who was trying to quietly give birth, thus the reference to "a double-fault final-play elimination". Both Oona and her brother were subsequently executed for their role in the murder.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Awesome mug feels really nice good weight and color although I think the shade could be a little brighter when it comes to the highlighter yellow, I am still pleased with the outcome and the fact that a whole passage was so neatly printed onto the product, very pleased with the packaging too! That made it so easy to wrap just in time for Christmas. Who knew!!
okay so the mug was mid but when you have a genz meme and give it to one of the most serious people you know then it's pretty funny

Gave it to my nerd brother. He used it consume liquid
Love it
as a fan of non-Z-generation-UD (since 2000 more or less) , especially of old-school definitions ("phat!") (as Nick, the more time passes by, the more I reach my inner age = 75 XD) , I totally appreciated the delivery in time for Christmas! (whispering) Perhaps printing quality in the Spain printing company is not as good as in the US, but - hey! - I got it before Christmas as a gift for my thank-God-non-Gen-Z-sister! ;) hugs from the eighties, and from Italy, and thanks!
