Finnish term or phrase: vesku ei agressiolla
Occurs in a ppt presentation about competing media, in a quote:

Lukijasuhde ja alueellinen rooli.
([Name of media company] vs. televisiohinta > Vesku ei agressiolla)
Paikallisesti peittoamme telkkkarin! Matti ja Marja

I entered this under "slang" because "vesku" doesn't appear in any dictionary or even in any Google or Bing search.

Thanks!

Vesku no aggression


Explanation:
I think this is a title of an advert. A media co who means to beat the odds with this particular advert. Vesku is just a nickname for Vesa. Otherwise, this wouldn't make any sense.
