I got some great notes from lilli m on how Maustetytöt seem to be artfully playing with the Finnish word "kiusaus" in their new single on school bullying. They seem to use it to mean, variously, "temptation," "bullying," and "ham casserole." (In fairness, all Finns apparently consider ham casserole a form of temptation.)
