A derogatory term for a leftist man, alluding to the urban legend of tap water being harmful to men for containing traces of estrogen.

=== Mä en pysty hengittää(n) ===
:Etymology/translation: "I am unable to breathe"
A protestor in 2015 lying on the ground surrounded by several members of the police claimed not to be able to breathe. It is not uncommon to see people mentioning being appalled at e.g. racist behavior get comments of e.g. Pystytkö hengittään? ("Are you able to breathe?") online.
=== Mädätys ===
:Etymology/translation: from the verb "mädättää" ("to make something decompose")

=== Orjalaivojen terva ===
:Etymology/translation: "the tar of the slave ships"

=== Parodiahorisontti ===
:Etymology: the words "parodia" ("parody") and "horisontti" ("horizon")
A figurative line that, once passed, makes it impossible to distinguish parody from a legitimate opinion or action. The origin of the term is in a statement given by the chief editor of humorous magazine shortly before the magazine ceased publication in 2000. Compare with Clown World in English – note that unlike the English counterpart, parodiahorisontti also sees some use outside alt-right circles.
=== Partalapsi ===
:Etymology: the words "parta" ("beard") and "lapsi" ("child")
Less commonly partavauva ("bearded baby"), the term refers to instances of asylum seekers lying about their age to receive preferential treatment or benefits that they otherwise would not be privy to — a universal phenomenon at border control points and asylum-seeker living spaces in the alt-right characterization.
=== Piccolo/Pikkolo ===
A denigrating name for conscripts that were used for additional border control manpower during the 2015 refugee crisis, particularly in and around Tornio on the Swedish-Finnish border. Jokes about carrying the luggage of the "invaders" in future conflicts or refugee crises abound on the Finnish internet.
=== Polpo ===
:Etymology/translation: the words "poliittinen" ("political") and "poliisi" ("police")
Not being able to say nasty stuff about minorities and people on the opposite side of the political spectrum without the authorities taking note is a definite sign that the police is biased toward your ideology, of course. /s In English, the term "political police" was used of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the neo-Nazi tome The Turner Diaries, of whom a free Finnish translation was previously available on the website kansallissosialisti.org.Archive link It is thus not unlikely that the origin of the term lies in said book.
=== S2 ===
:Etymology/translation: from "suomi toisena kielenä" ("Finnish as a second language")

=== Suvakki ===
:Etymology/translation: the words "suvaitsevainen" ("tolerant") and "vajakki" ("moron")
Anyone not opposed to immigration and minority rights etc. may be called a suvakki. A common compound word is suvakkihuora (huora meaning "whore") to refer to women opposed to alt-right ideas in particular.
=== Tunturineekeri ===
:Etymology/translation: the words "tunturi" ("fell") and "neekeri" ("negro", "nigger")
The Sámi (saamelaiset) often get accused by the Finnish alt-right of e.g. not operating under the same "rules" as the rest of the Finnish population. Some examples include Sámi activists warning against cultural appropriation of their traditional attire, as well as limiting the right to vote for representatives to the Sámi autonomous council. The emergence of a slur patterned after the "[X] nigger" template is thus hardly surprising.
=== Tätä ne (just) pakenee ===
:Etymology/translation: "This is (exactly) what they are escaping from"
A phrase to convey the sarcastic suggestion that any and all crime by immigrants/asylum seekers should be left unpunished, because the perpetrators themselves might be subject to crimes similar to their own back in their country of origin.

:Etymology/translation: either "vale" ("lie") or "valheellinen" ("false") and "oppositio" ("opposition")
A denigrating term for the Finns Party, used by those that do find the party racist enough for their purposes and claim that it is merely a "honeypot" to prevent genuine far-right movements from gaining traction.

=== Yksittäistapaus ===
:Etymology/translation: the words "yksittäinen" ("isolated", "singular") and "tapaus" ("case", "instance")

=== Risitas ===
El Risitas is the name of a meme depicting a laughing Spanish man. In most cultures all over the world, it is perfectly benign, but in french speaking countries such as France, Canada and Switzerland, Risitas is often used as a dogwhistle by alt-righters, white supremacists, edgelords and Conservatives similarly to Pepe The Frog. It has to be noted, however, that much like Pepe, but to a greater extent, people may post about this meme without the intention of communicating with alt-righters.https://www.jeuxvideo.com/news/1353874/une-cagnotte-leetchi-lancee-pour-aider-risitas-symbole-du-forum-de-jeuxvideo-com.htm

=== Aitheantas Éireann ===
: aithint ("to recognise/know/identify") + tas ("tion/ism")
: Éireann (gen. Éire - "of Ireland")
Can be seen on the Twitter descriptions of Irish twitter users following the Generation Identity movement. Due to white nationalists' tendency to be gobbers, they used the wrong word. Aitheantas means identification. If they had a clue, even cared one damn about their identity they'd get it right. As with most identitarians they are more concerned with the removal of foreigners deemed undesirable than the preservation of any identity.

Per the Spanish website Forocoches (cited in El Español), a charo is a woman "with short hair, dyed red or purple, who said she doesn't need a man in her life, and on reaching 35 or 40, alone and burned-out on life, falls into a depression that will stay with her for the rest of her life and results in an addictions to Prozac, alcohol, Marlboro, and her cats."

===Gretino===
A filthy hippy alarmist who follows environmentalist advocate Greta Thunberg as a religious prophet.
The word is a pun on "cretino", Spanish for jerk.
===Lo País===
"Lo País" is part of a Spanish rightist trend to replace gendered pronouns ("El" or "La") in the title of left/moderate publications with a genderless pronoun ("Lo"). So to mock both the newspaper El País as "Lo País", and similarly for Lo Diario, Lo Sexta, Lo Vanguardia, Lo Periódico de Cataluña.
