- the fall of Finnigan → the pftjschute of Finnegan
- pftjschute: ideophonic word which depicts the fall of Tim Finnegan
- pršut: (Serbian, Croatian) smoked ham
- prosciutto: (Italian) Italian spiced ham. Etymology: from Italian, alteration (probably by infl. of prosciugato "dried") of presciutto, from pre-, intensive prefix + -sciutto, from Latin exsuctus "lacking juice, dried up," pp. of exsugere "suck out, draw out moisture," from ex- "out" + sugere "to suck"[1]
- pftjschute → pršut: → prosciutto could be an etymological allusion to femina ("woman, female," lit. "she who suckles," from base of felare "to suck, suckle")[2] and thus imply the sexual matter of the fall of Finnegan
- chute: (English) a vertical or inclined path, channel, or passage through which objects are moved by means of gravity
- chute: (French) fall
- chut (French), pst (German): shush!, hist!
- parachute → it fails to open
- pfui: (German) an expression of contempt or disgust
