I like yours kalinka

I went with Netsurfers' word because it rolls off the tounge easier........and because he is going to give me 10 bucks

i would invent "благодавание" :lol:
As long as it's not благовставление
Actually that was exactly the word net surfer invented originally. But kalinka_vinnie either mistyped (misprinted) it or was just inattentive.Quote:

The original net surfer's word was "спасибодавание" :lol:
Такой праздник испортили )))...
I have voted in favor of the original version. What's the use of inventing new ways of saying Russian words? :wink: I don't mind variations but the phrases in the poll seem to make no sense... Is it just for fun?
Yeah what the &*^%!!!
kalinka_vinnie, my version was:
This poll is unfair!!! kalinka_vinnie, shame on you! :PQuote:

As far as I understand the word 'давение' is derived from the word давать, right? That's funny :lol: Дав(л)ение благ
Shh, nobody should know it!Quote:

Ok, so I screwed up your word. So sew me (please don't)! Unfortunately, I can't edit it :cry:
Anyway, you guys are too conservative! Why not invent better, shorter and more interesting words for rigid, boring and too literal constructions! It's not like it is rude or slang!
I can suggest a few: ПЖ, КЦ, КУ
No, wait... They've been already invented :wall:
КЮ! :evil:
пиплы, "благовставление" really funny :lol:
голосую за этот вариант руками и ногами :lol:
Nice try! But we, Russians, won't buy such cheap tricks, right, net surfer? :lol:Quote:

Why do you, Americans, always want to shorten and abbreviate things?! Are you so lazy that it's impossible for you to pronounce long words and phrases like "День благодарения"? :P
:lol:
P.S. Please don't be offended, I'm just joking (as I always am :lol:)
"давение" can be not only a misprint of the newly invented slang word "давание", but it also can be a misprint of the normal word "дарение" :wink:Quote:

Guys, what are you talking about? :?Quote:

What does КЮ mean? I was trying to guess its meaning for a couple of minutes but failed.
Just follow the link boy and you'll figure it out.
I couldn't find the abbreviation on that website!
It's not an abbreviation

Modern generation. I bet you know what hobbit is. Cuz there has been a Hollywood movie about that.
'Course, I know what hobbit is. I've watched the movie you're talking about. Never heard of this word though.
But what is their etymology? Or there isn't any?Quote:

though i'm russian i've never understood it...it's kind of a fantasy world with its own language :lol: ку-ку-ку :lol:
Easy there tiger, I was joking! :DQuote:

Yeah, you're right - I have heard of Евгений Леонов. There seem to be a few pics of him on the website adoc mentioned. Am I right?
I knew you were kidding me! I was just complaining... :PQuote:

I've heard a theory that you have to sorta read the words backwards and then they have more sense. Then пацак turns into кацап, кц into ЦК, эцилопп into полицай, and ПЖ (the monarch of the planet) turns into what used to be the Brezhnev's nickname. But the youngsters, they don't know any of that, they don't understand the whole grand concept of цветовой дифференциации штанов.Quote:

Wow, that's interesting, thank you, but still it doesn't explain all the words. There must be some other "secretes" too. :)Quote:

Nah... There is nothing special about that movie. There are much better ones in the Russian cinematography :wink: For example, "Я шагаю по Москве". The same director as of "Кин-дза-дза" (Георгий Данелия) but that's a way more positive, easy to perceive movie starring the famous Russian director Никита Михалков. I like the main song of that movie.Quote:

Many people don't undestand the humor in most cult movies (I have very few american friends that understand movies like "Monty Pythong and the Holy Grail"), especially if the movies are old, but one has to take into consideration not only the movie but the whole atmosphere it was released in. Learn to sit back and see the big picture (pun intended), not only try to be entertained... well that is how I watch the movies anyway :wink:
