Uhh, no. Vittu, literally "cunt", is the Finnish equivalent of "fuck" and is used with similar disregard to its notional meaning (fucking cheeseburger = vitun juustohampurilainen).

Kind of like those Quebecois swears, perkele manages to be both rude and formal: it's used in Finnish translations of the Bible for "Devil".
