Finnn

Finnn: noun. The word Finnn is probably best explained by the song I Met a Scandinavian Fish by the Asian country metal band Heavy banjo.

There was once a Finn who had finny finny fins,
I met him on the street selling liners from robbed bins,
He had scales that dangled from his sixty seven chins,
And he greeted passers-by with all sorts of creepy grins.

Fins, Finns, Finnns, you´d do better off with skins!
A look at all you fishscaled monsters gives my head some spins!
Fins, Finns, Finnns, like a newsboard without pins!
You all look like you could be your grandma´s twins!

I approached that finny creature and I asked him of his sins,
´Cause I am pastor Joseph working at Saint Mary´s Holy Inns,
Uncomprehendingly he looked at me with eyes like violins,
And the next thing that I knew was I was clobbered by his kins-
 men

Fins, Finns, Finnns, you´d do better off with skins!
A look at all you fishscaled monsters gives my head some spins!
Fins, Finns, Finnns, like a newsboard without pins!
You all look like you could be your grandma´s twins!

Don´t ask us how one´s eyes can be like violins. The patent is someone else´s. However, have you ever tried strumming an optic nerve? Exactly. By the way, this song probably didn´t explain the word to you at all, did it? A Finnn is an inhabitant of Finland who is also a fish. Well that was simple. But you´re glad you know a new song now, right?
