2014, Riikka Pulkkinen, Iiris Lempivaaran levoton ja painava sydän, Otava, →ISBN, pages 47–48:Teppo, aivan kelpo nimi. Tepoissa ei ole mitään vikaa. Voisin mennä takuuseen, että aleksit ovat syyllistyneet monilukuisempiin rikoksiin kuin tepot koskaan. Teppo on vaellushenkisten, ehkä valokuvausta—ja krav magaa—harrastavien miesten nimi. Tepot ovat leppoisia, johan riimikin sen todistaa.- Teppo is a proper name. There's nothing wrong with a Teppo. I could bet that Aleksis have committed many more crimes than Teppos ever have. Teppo is the name for a man who likes hiking and perhaps has photography—and krav maga—as his hobbies. Teppos are placid, as the rhyme attests to.
