töppö

Töppö is a Finnish word that primarily refers to a stub or a short, thick object. It can also be used colloquially to describe someone who is short and stocky in build. The term is often used in a somewhat affectionate or informal way.

In a more literal sense, töppö can describe a short, blunted piece of something, such as a stump of a tree or a shortened pencil. Figuratively, it can be applied to things that are incomplete or cut short. For example, a "töppö puhe" might refer to a conversation that was abruptly ended.

The word's connotations are generally neutral to slightly negative, depending on the context. When referring to a person, it's typically used to describe their physical stature rather than their character, and it's not usually considered a derogatory term, though it can be seen as informal or even a bit impolite in very formal settings. The usage of töppö is widespread in everyday Finnish conversation.
