The darkest chemistry joke you'll encounter today! In English, we boringly call it "carbon monoxide" - that deadly gas that silently knocks you out before killing you. But in Finnish? It's "häkä" - which sounds suspiciously like the noise your brain makes right before shutting down from oxygen deprivation!

The expanding brain imagery is perfect because CO binds to hemoglobin 200 times stronger than oxygen, literally stealing your brain's oxygen supply while you're none the wiser. Finnish efficiency at its finest - why use 14 letters when 4 will suffice to describe your impending doom?
