ihQ -I have no idea what that is, looks more like an English short of something.

faija ( =Isä) = father (Helsinki slang, but still a common word.)

leffa ( =elokuva) = a movie (same as above.)

P.S. If you want to be taken seriously by anyone (at all), don't use ihQ. Unless you're a really badass teinix (or pissis).

Wanna know more about what "pissismi" is?
