"viedä saunan taakse" meaning in Finnish

See viedä saunan taakse in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

Etymology: There are competing theories: * Based on the tradition of animals being slaughtered behind a sauna, so as to be further away from the rest of the family to avoid shock or commotion. Saunas would usually be located further away from the main house building to prevent a possible fire from spreading. * A potential threat to children that unless they mend their ways, they would be taken behind the sauna to be spanked or whipped as a form of punishment, also done behind the sauna to prevent cries from being audible back home. * Another theory suggests an origin dating back to the Finnish Civil War, referring to extrajudicial executions possibly taking place behind a sauna. The exact meaning depends on the speaker, and it's more than likely that there being multiple theories about the origin has contributed to there being different meanings.
