...uh..

The Finnish translation is awful, it has lost all the feeling and makes
Holden sound like a ragged hooligan from some lower class family in poorer
quarters, because of the dialect put into his mouth.  The 'fuck you' part
was translated to 'Haista vittu' which translates something like 'Smell
pussy' or some rougher word for 'pussy' that I cannot think of...
Translators have spoiled Catcher for the Finnish population, thank God I
picked the English copy instead of the Finnish one at 15.
