Nickname that Jori!

[2 Minute Minor]

I want more Frank and Beans!

 

[KirkOut]

How'd you get the Beans above the Frank?

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

Doc, as is Doc Brown. Messes with time and space.

 

[BadgersandBlues]

It has to be Beans. Just has to.

How did you get the Beans above the Frank?!!!

Haha love that movie.

Sorry, but that one's already taken. Paavo Nurmi (nine Olympic gold medals) was the Flying Finn.

Yes! I remember Paavo Nurmi. But most American and Canadian fans wouldn't remember him, and even if they did, they'd have no problem having a second "Flying Finn", just as they call the newer player of the same family name as the original famous man's first (Christian) name. They called Keith Tkachuck, "Walt" , because the famous Tkaczuk before him was named Walter. The baseball fans of the 1890s called the Baltimore Orioles' centre fielder "Steve" Brodie, after an infamous man who jumped off The Brooklyn Bridge to his death. His first name was nothing like Steve or Steven.

Jori played for Jokerit early in his career. We could call him "The Jokerit Joker" (pronounced in American, "Yokerit Yoker".

To be fair, there is also a few other guys nicknamed the Flying Finn, for example Mika Häkkinen, a two-time F1 World Champion.

what movie?

Also while I don't actually have any idea what 'frank and beans' means, I think I can guess, and also if I spelt it out I am guessing that a mod would edit my post. Correct?

...who went to the far post to tuck it.
But the goalie gave him fits by doing the splits,
so Hitchcock said, "We need more beef on the bun."

 

[behemolari]

JR ..like a boss

 

[PeterAngelo]

Having learnt something today, my vote is also for Beans.

 

[Lord Helix]

I want more Frank and Beans!

Nah. Schwartz is Beans. Lehtera is Warren.



"He was masturbating!"

 

[Meatball]

Quick someone Photoshop Jori's face on this:

 

[bigspooky99]

Jori Lehterä translated from Finnish to English means "Jori in the gallery."
Sounds cool-as-hell to me. As if there are paintings of his moves hanging in an art gallery.

Jori Lehterä translated from Finnish to English means "Jori in the gallery."

I'd be more than interested to know how anybody would come upon a translation like that. As far as I know, "Lehterä" doesn't mean anything. It's just a name. "Lehteri" could be translated as "gallery", but it wouldn't be an art gallery, the meaning would be something like this (taken from the Merriam-Webster dictionary): a structure projecting from one or more interior walls (as of an auditorium or church) to accommodate additional people; especially : the highest balcony in a theater commonly having the cheapest seats

[MMANumminen]

I hope there will be no forced nickname

 

[FinnWin]

A longtime Finnish fan of Jori here... Me and my friends have always called him "Jorge", pronounced in the Spanish way Can't really remember where it came from. We are always shouting "Vamos Jorge" etc

Or how about Hannibal Lehter, because he pretty much consumes his opponents

To be fair, there is also a few other guys nicknamed the Flying Finn, for example Mika Häkkinen, a two-time F1 World Champion.

The original Flyinn Finn was Kalevi "Häkä" Häkkinen.
