Who play Civ2????

Staying off topic, talking about nasty finish words...
One of the funniest stories I've ever heard was when a friend of mine (female) was in Finland playing mini-golf. She had aimed badly and the ball had landed in the middle of a group of older finish boys, where she went to pick it up. Feeling a bit embarrased about it, she felt she ought to say something and remembered she knew how to say thanks in finish ('Kiitos'). Not thinking it through very much she accidently mixed up 'Kiitos' with another finish word and said 'Vitto' to the boys as she was leaving. Talk about embarrasing.

('Vitto' is the female genitals)

Sorry for going OT...

I don't quite understand. There's nothing in Finnish there. I'm not that good at idiomatic expressions in English, but I've always thought that "What's in a name" means something that the name of a person doesn't have any meaning in the sence that it would hold some truth or knowledge about him or her.

Hehe, sorry, the "PS" part was about that quote that Cleveland already translated. The "arm, or leg" part was with reference to Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet. You have to have an understanding of the text to understand my joke

Edit 1: BTW: Your understanding of that idiom is nonetheless correct

Talking off topic "vitto" wasn't correctly spelled but maybe it's better that way.
And so that we don't miss the whole point maybe it's time for me to tell something about me: I'm 18 (soon 19), finishing my school in few months and then going into army. I've never been married and I have no children.

Ok, here's the translation to my text in Finnish: I couldn't believe that so many Finnish people play Civ2, God Damn It!! Or... Perkele is a difficult one to translate, it's something like devil or whatever... Peace!!! (Rauhaa, in Finnish )

If vitto means the heaven of a man then it's almost the same in finnish: vittu..... What a coincidense
Rauhaa!
