When you go inside you shake the water out of the umbrella so it doesn’t drip inside your house. Yeah, that’s it, no reference or anything.

I think you’re confused why he brought up shaking anything at all, what you’re missing is that he brought up shaking an umbrella as a reply to the OP image that talks about shaking booty aka dancing.
The Finnish thing is that they don’t shake booty. The umbrella being the only thing they shake was just a way to highlight that they aren’t dancing like Colombians.

It’s worldwide. Everyone around the world who has used an umbrella has shaken rain off an umbrella. Are you an alien from another solar system?

Maybe from Saudi Arabia? No umbrella-shaking in Saudi Arabia.

Is that a Finnish thing or just the first thing you thought to shake?

There is no innuendo if you are looking for an innuendo. He’s literally talking about shaking the rain off an umbrella. He’s happily married and neither his wife nor he like to dance so they don’t shake anything but their umbrella. Get it?

Finnish people do not shake hands.

What else do you shake on a fairly common basis, I suppose you also shake the bottle to get every last drop out. So it’s bottle or umbrella.

Oh my god, I feel so dumb. I really thought you had just made a typo and said shake instead of share.
Kenny2999@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Sharing doesn’t sound possible, or at least would require an unwieldy parasol or something.

I think all of my umbrellas can fit two if a couple, and three if everyone is okay with rubbing torsos.
