It's a very interesting link actually, Basil, thanks :) - gives an idea of what classics one should know ......

You are welcome! :) So, in your case, I think it takes only couple of months living in Russia for you to become complete russian guy! :lol:

:o

It would take quite a lot of work to turn me into a guy, I'm afraid - I'm a girlie.... :wink:

Лучше сказать: (.....) for you to become completely russian :)


Well, I'd like to try! :D But neither my hubby nor the cat would be happy if I went to Russia for a couple of months, so chances are slim.... :? :(

Sorry for my mistake. :oops: You wrote "Я нелегал", so I considered wrong.

My turn to be :oops: :oops: :oops: .
You're absolutely right.
I must humbly admit that I just copied it off the site - I should have known that there would be a female version as well...... :oops:
Forgive me, my young friend - I'm just a глупая иностранка... :? :wink: :lol:

You were right the first time - there is no female version of this word, at least I never heard of it. (нелегалка? :lol: ). So you, more likely, used it properly (but I don't shure completly). I was confused by the gender of the word itself. :wink:
P.S. Unfortunatly I'm not so young already. :cry:

Argh - don't say that! Because, if you are "not so young", it means that I am "quite old".... :cry:

:wink: :lol:

"Нелегал" is a sexist term. We should invent another, politically correct. :lol:

And how about such words as "космонавт", "водитель", "мясник", "офицер", "инвестор", "министр" e.t.c. Should we invent politically correct forms for all??! :o :)

By God's Fish??? :o :o :o Where did you get that from? Who talks like that?

It is a rural North Eastern American phrase signifying surprise or disbelief. I suggest you use it and impress your friends!

I have never heard it in the US South, that's for sure...

I've just searched for this expression on Google (to search for the exact phrase, I have included it in parentheses). Guess what? Only 2 hits!!!!
It's a made-up expression, nobody's using it :lol:

На каких сайтах было упомянуто это выражение? Было бы интересно узнать, у каких идиотов появилось желание придумать такое глупое выражение.
