Default Re: The scandinavians kikced from the throne?

In the Finnish language "Scandinavian" is a synonym of "Swedish" which is a synonym of "gay". Nobody in Finland thinks himself as Scandinavian. Unfortunately Finland used to be part of Sweden for hundreds of years and because of this many people in Sweden think Finland is part of Scandinavia.

The really funny thing is that e.g. in Germany when they speak of Scandinavia they often include Finland and exclude Denmark. This pisses Danish people off to no end. Unlike the Finnish they would very much like to be thouhgt of as Scandinavians.
