You do realize that "Wunder"would mean "Mirage", right?

I remember writing an essay about finnish footbag terminology back in high school, but I have no idea where to find it...well anyways, here's a few finnish terms:

barfly - baarikärpänen
butterfly - perhonen
circle - rinki
double - tupla
eggbeater - munanpieksijä (dickbeater)
footbag - jalkalaukku
merkon - merkonomi (Vocational Qualification in Business and Administration)
peeking duck - pekingin ankka
shred - silppu
shredder - silppuri
zulu le loup - zululelu (zulu toy)

..that's all i can think right now.

You can say just about any english word in finnish style (pronounce just like it's written), so it's natural to use english.
