A spam topic was just deleted (along with two of my posts... darn) and in it Barm said something to me that I didn't understand... because it was Russian.
The sentence:
Есть такая пословица по-русски, Дмитри? "To nuke" как слэнг?
I had said that we should nuke spammers and that was what he said in reply.
Can anyone help put it into English for me so I know what he said?
Thanks in advance :D
Is there the following proverb in Russian, Dimitri? "To nuke" as slang?Quote:
Есть такая пословица по-русски, Дмитри? "To nuke" как слэнг?
Oops. I didn't want to say proverb; better to say фраза (phrase) or глагол (verb). Now that it's got its own post, I don't care about Dmitri answering it per se, but anybody who knows. :DQuote:

It means to "blow up with a nuclear weapon," but it's developed a more casual usage as well. Anything that's blow up or even when people microwave food can sometimes be referred to as having been "nuked."Quote:

Yeah.. my mom says that when she microwaves things, so it's not so serious a term anymore.Quote:

If you're talking about the translation you requested, I was simply asking Dmitri (or anyone listening) if there is a Russian term that means "to nuke." If you're referring to something else, then I forget what we were even talking about... :?Quote:

(Most decent translation would be "to destroy utterly and absolutely")
it begins with "разпи"
and ends with "здячить".
:) Don't take it any more seriously than it actually is.
To blow the c*nt out of smth!?!?! :oQuote:

don't mistake with "пиздячить" - to go/ride/drive/fly somewhere far enough the continuety of that process or the distance of travel becomes worth mentioning.
don't mistake with "пиздить" - to beat (violently) someone, or to steal something
don't mistake with "распиздяй" - a very unenthusiastic to any kind of work person, who doesn't pay attention to any detail, very careless and negligent and therefore -untrustworthy and incapable of doing anything properly.
(Though it may also be used to refer a young man)
Wow, how'd you guess? :roll:Quote:

DDL, I'd like you to meet TATY. TATY, DDL... TATY's posts here vary between: a)jackasstasic, b)incredibly helpful, c)downright funny. The guy knows his stuff, but he's also incredibly abrasive at times... :wink: He's probably the only person here who's been banned AND has made hundreds (if not thousands) of really useful posts... :DQuote:
