Finnjävel

Finnjävel (singular) and Finnjävlar (plural) are derogatory terms used in Sweden for Finnish immigrants since the 1950s and 1960s. In this context, jävel or djävel, literally meaning "devil", is a generic strong insult.

There is a book called "Finnjävlar" that discusses Finnish minority identity in Sweden.[1] There is also a restaurant in Helsinki with the name.
