Foreign Word of the Day: Kalsarikannit

There are words we need to borrow from other languages.  From Finnish, that word of the day is “kalsarikannit”.  This is a portmanteau of two words: “kalsari”, meaning “underpants”; and “kannit”, meaning “drunk”, with the implication of being alone, probably at home.  Used together, it refers to the act of getting drunk, alone, at home, sitting in your underpants because you could not be bothered.  That is some level of despair.
