kuin Esterin perseestä

Finnish

Etymology

kuin (“like”) Esterin (“Esther's”) perseestä (“from ass”); of uncertain origin. Urban legend has it that "Esteri" was the Goddess of rain in pre-Christian Finland, but that's naturally false, as the name is of Biblical origin.

One possible source of the saying is the Esteri-branded water pumps used by firebrigades.

Sataa kuin Esterin perseestä jo kolmatta päivää peräkkäin!
