Dude, Bodom hoodies are at the mall here. Pretty well-known in those circles.
The Finnish foreign exchange student at my high school was a complete snob about the pronunciation of Bodom. If someone said it "boh-dum" she would go on this huge soapbox about Lake Bodom and how can you be so stupid that you don't know about it, etc etc etc for at least five minutes.

xpost, I'd be pretty pissed if I had to move to middle America
Just to make it more clear, Children of Bodom is a local death metal band. Or something like that, I'm not too familiar with metal subgenres.

She was very, very funny about it. "I'm not allowed to wear a see-through shirt to school? What the hell is this country! In Finland, we get all our food for free and bus rides, too. And we actually think!" It was kind of awesome.

i'm assuming that was after you explained what food and buses were to her

I'm not if all the Finns can pronounce "Bodom" properly either, it's a Swedish name and should be pronounced boo-dom, but I've often heard people say it boh-dom, the Finnish way. There was a very famous murder case in the sixties that happened at Lake Bodom, which is why the band chose that name I assume, but I don't see why your exchange student thought Americans should know about that.

I know! She was hilarious because she was so vituperous about fucking EVERYTHING. "These trees are so ugly here! I hate the sounds of your filthy American birds!"
― Abbott, Thursday, 11 October 2007 23:26 (sixteen years ago) link
Did you also explain that she paid 50% taxes? Or did they not teach that in Finland?

We don't get free bus rides here! Free lunch in schools yes, but no free bus rides.

Tuomas, because I hate Jaco Pas-bore-ius and play in a rock band means I only play rock music? I see you only deal in rock solid logic, pal.

Actually, I think I'm wrong, you do get free bus tickets if your school is more than three kilometers away or something. But I've always lived in the city where the school is within walking distance, so there were no free rides for me.
