Finnish lesson of the day: Duct tape is colloquially known as jeesusteippi. Because Jesus saves you, duct tape saves you, makes perfect sense. All small not capitalised because it's a general item and not a name, and also casually blasphemous for fun, which is extremely on brand for Finnish!

It's also shortened to the diminutives jesse and jesari. Used in a sentence:
"Laita vähän jesaria, kyllä se siitä." Apply some duct tape, it'll be fine.
"Jessellähän minä." Well, I did in fact repair it with some duct tape, actually.
