Finnish[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Literally, “do a flip, homo”.
First attested in a skit in the 1990 comedy TV series Maailman kahdeksan ihmettä by Lapinlahden Linnut. One origin theory states that the phrase originates from the 1991 Aaron Norris film The Hitman, where the main character, played by Chuck Norris, says the line "drop dead!" which was subtitled "heitä homo voltti!" in Finnish, but this is attested later (and is likely a reference to the aforementioned skit).
