Õhukeskmikud

Õhukeskmikud is a term that can refer to a few different concepts. In Estonian, "õhuke" means thin and "mikud" is a diminutive or plural form of a name, often referring to a person. Therefore, "Õhukeskmikud" literally translates to "thin Mikkus" or "thin Mikkens" and is often used as a nickname.
