It is also the surname of Uruguayan footballer Luis Jonne.
Starting in the early 2010s, the Finnish slang word jonne (pl.jonnet) has been used to refer to a stereotypical teenage boy who behaves embarrassingly, often rides a moped and drinks energy drinks, especially Euroshopper Energy Drink ("E.S"), from which the term ES-jonne is derived. [1] [2] [3] The word originally came from the name of Jonne Jyrylä, the creator of the Finnish website Jonneweb, and the first "jonne memes" on the Finnish imageboard Kuvalauta were based on a teenage photo of Finnish rapper Atte Toikka, which was originally posted on the Finnish social networking website IRC-Galleria. [3] [4] Since at least the early 2020s, the slang word veeti (pl.veetit), derived from the Finnish name Veeti , has similarly been used to refer to a new generation of teenage boys. [2] [5]
