The Helsinki bamboozle is a sneaky and cunning pirate technique that involves hiding on an island and swimming towards an enemy ship in order to board it. This technique is often used by pirates who are looking to surprise and catch their enemies off guard.
To prevent this attack, many ships have developed a counter technique called the Copenhagen counter. This involves guarding the top of the ships ladder with a blunderbuss, a type of firearm that fires a spray of shot. This makes it difficult for pirates to climb aboard and can help to deter them from attempting to board the ship.
The Helsinki bamboozle requires a lot of stealth and surprise to be effective, and it is not always successful. However, it can be a formidable tactic if used correctly, and it has been used by many pirates throughout history to great effect. The Copenhagen counter, on the other hand, is a more defensive technique that is designed to protect the ship and its crew from such an attack.

Get the Helsinki bamboozlemug. When a Scandinavian country holds an American president long enough so that they can become indoctrinated In into their Russian captors beliefs.
Today’s American president spent two hours with the Russian president and damn, he’s already corroborated. I thought the Helsinki Syndrome would take longer than this up north.

Get the Helsinki Incidentmug. An extremely annoying indie pop collective. Their instrumentation may be unique, but their music is so sugary that one can do nothing but cringe, as if their teeth are rotting under their lips, while listeining to it.
Me: What are you listening to, Alex?
Alex: Oh, I've got Architecture in Helsinki on my iPod. Have you heard of them?
Me: Yeah, they annoy the living hell out of me. You should listen to some real music. How about some Tapes 'n' Tapes? Some Wire? Some Sebadoh? Those are all far better choices.

Get the Architecture In Helsinkimug. when someone is fingering someone elses ass hole and inserts their entire fist and then spreads it out, causing the other person to feel like something exploded inside them like a hand grenade.

Get the helsinki hand grenademug. A condition that affects programmers at different rates, where they become functionally blind to the defects in legacy code they are required to work in regularly. The only known treatment is for the affected programmer to be required to explain the code to a new programmer. The embarrassment at not already having fixed the code causes a short period of clear thinking. However within a short time both programmers will suffer from the effects and it'll remain unchanged.

Get the Helsinki Syndromemug. When performing oral sex on a woman, cunnilingus, one inserts a few "cinnamon altoids" into the recipiants vigina in a fashion similar to that of inserting quarters into a vending machine. This action increases the intensity of the experience, leaving the tongue and vagina with a strong flaming sensation.
Does anybody have 50 cents I can have for some Cinnamon Altoids? Tonight I have a date with Felicia, and I would like to give her the Helsinki hell hole.
