Moominwords

If you're at all interested in Finland you will know something about Moomins. The television cartoon series starts with a special Moomin song, the lyrics to which can be found here. It's called "Käy Muumilaaksoon" (come to Moomin valley), and contains a couple of words that you'll not find in the dictionary. However, every Finn knows what they mean:

tuijottelutuokio - staring moment
taikapilvikarkelo - magic cloud party

Important vocabulary, I think you'll agree.
