    Побеждает он там каких-то отморозков. Кота какого-то подозрительного и рыбу.

    And I seriously doubt in any sexual connotation in that movie.
    I'd translate it into english as "Blue puppy" anyway. It would be much closer to the original context.

    Да, режиссер утверждал, что у него и в мыслях ничего такого не было. Но тесты песен настолько двусмысленны, что просто грех не посмеяться.

    so about "boy toy"

    Hi and sorry for the confusion! Okay, I think I should explain this a little more. A "boy toy" is something that a gay man calls the person he's in a relationship with. It's not a serious term, it's affectionate and pretty funny to English-speakers and it's non-sexual. I'm just looking for a good name (FRIENDLY! not pejorative please!) that would be something Russians affectionately called gays, if one such term exists. Is the term "guloboy" (spelling?) rude, or is it acceptable in conversation? If there isn't any fitting term, would anyone be able to directly translate "boy toy" for me, even though it means nothing to Russian ears? Also, I can only read about ten words in Russian so I won't be able to tell what any of your responses mean unless they're in english...

    Specibo (incorrect spelling there) so much!

    Well, what about "goluboy" - i guess it's a bit rude (not sure thogh I'm straight myself). I think the most acceptible and neutral word is "гей" gay.

    Its just a "guy" you use as a "sexual toy". But its mostly just fantasy i suppose, because no one will just lay there and let you do whatever you want to them forever...
    Nope, you got it all backwards. I remember Madonna being referred to as a boy toy either by herself or the press. http://www.geocities.com/allmadonna/tourbooks.html
    Aparrently a boy toy is generaly a guy that is controlled by an older woman
    thats exactly what it is!!!

    Didn't you ever see that show that was on Mtv...or was it VH1...anyways, it was about this filthy rich lady looking for her very own "boy toy".

    it was a pretty fun show.

    "Я влюблялся" means "I became enamoured bit by bit" or "I fall in love with divers women very often".

    "Она сводила меня с ума" = "Я был в нее влюблен".

    .

    You dont have to correct it. I know its сводят, it's just a typo. And i dont care about commas because im неграмотный. Often ill say like пасматри, or позвани, седня ИТД.... you dont have to correct it, because i already know, i just dont care.

    But if i do make a REAL mistake, like yesterday mix up отвлекаться \ увлекаться... then go ahead and let me know.

    Word-by-word translation is "мальчик-игрушка". It's not common term, of course, but in the context it's quite understandable.

    Never say "it makes me mad" in the sense "it makes me angry" in Russian, because they are NOT synonyms in Russian. "Сводит меня с ума" will be understood as "I am crazy about him" (blame Alware)
    only сводит с ума - drives crazy

    достаёт - drives mad

    I thought that was quite clear
    No, no, no! How can it be clear if you completely confused Dogboy, Alware?!
    drives crazy = drives mad = достаёт, бесит
    crazy about = mad about = сводит с ума, влюбился

    He drives me crazy = He drives me mad = Он меня бесит/раздражает/достаёт

    I'm crazy about him = I'm mad about him = Он сводит меня с ума


    I hope now it's clear.
    Please correct my mistakes if you can, especially article usage.
