    пальто & шоссе

    does anyone know what language пальто & шоссе come from?
    They're said to derive from a foreign language.

    Вован уже давно прятал свои хибари в таз с водой, куда иногда опускал на несколько минут зад, а черт, приносивший ему зарплату, делал вид, что ничего не замечает.

    what's хибари mean?
    thanks

    прятал в своей хибаре таз
    хибара - a hut a shack, a small and poorly looking house.
    Кстати, причем здесь пальто и шоссе?

    I am not sure, but suppose that "хибарь (pl. хибари)" is a short form of "хибарик" or "хабарик" which is the St.Peterburger dialecticism for "окурок (cigarette stub)".
    Could you please occasionally correct my stupid errors!

    They're from French: paletot (overcoat) and chauss

    D@mned if I know, whole life living in Russia, what "хибари" mean! May be this is some specific slang or a word envented by the author of this cr@p?
    Please, correct my mistakes, except for the cases I misspell something on purpose!
