    глухарь

    "глухарь", anyone?
    The captain says to one of his officers something like: "Хочешь сказать, что это ещё и глухарь будет?" and he's not at all happy about it, of course.

    In a police slang it means that the person who did that crime will not be found.
    "Россия для русских" - это неправильно. Остальные-то чем лучше?

    Re: глухарь

    It's from "глухое дело". Here, глухое = бесперспективное, безнадежное (hopeless)
    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.
