Tallinn

Tallinn: noun. An Estonian ubication in which weary travellers from far and wide rest for a night or two before resuming with their travels. A tallinn can be distinguished from a normal inn firstly by its height (or tallness) and secondly by the predominant language of the people in it (which, in the case that the inn is a tallinn, is usually Estonian). The fact that the capital city of Estonia is Tallinn isn't purely coincidental; the city used to be known as Reval, but since it was known mostly for its tallinns that seemed to dominate its landscape, its name was changed to Tallinn in 1917. The word tallinn was revived from its obscurity by the Asian country metal band Heavy Banjo in an addition to the song that was posted on the blog yesterday. It goes like this:

That finny finny finnn owned a highly tall tallinn,
He made a decent living selling bottles of clear gin,
Then one day in the lottery a fortune did he win,
And he never ever did return to the city of Tallinn.
