P to F is a isogloss and whole regions use initial 'p' where others use 'f'. Fan: 
Thats where we get the words like Philip and other spell it Filip, they are essentially the same consonant. So those Scandinavians may use it as an equivalent of "fuck" but it is really, like all the other common swear words, really rather pathetic. The other common swear word "djävlar" is merely 'devils'. Finnish really is a much more vigorous, and stronger, and therefore more effective and satisfying language to swear in. Use the search function to find a post where Grant Hughes found on his own a very useful guide to Finnish swearing and you'll see why anybody who knows almost has to agree with the common Finnish opinion that most of the Nordic boys are all limp wristed ''bögisar''.
