Umm, can you tell me what is "the trigger"?

Reminds me of one joke:

Ночь. Пост ГИБДД. Мерзнет мент. Рядом останавливается новенькая Тойота. Из нее выкатывается японец и обращаясь к менту говорит:
-"Иока тоси-боси такеда Coca-Cola?" на что мент отвечает:
-"Простите я не понял, Вы спрашиваете где в этом холодном, заснеженном городе купить баночку ЧЕГО?"

Dogboy's right.

The first time I saw skachat' MP3, I worked out what it meant straight away. It's quite obvious.

Is it an invented word? Because there is the word скатить which means "to roll down".

It's from качать with the meaning "to pump".

Dogboy should keep in his sarcasm! Is he so clever guy to demand quick wits of everybody?! Why does a foreigner have to be fluent in Russian net slang? If you can't find something in dictionaries do you rely on your guesses or prefer to ask competent people?

I think the word скачать comes from качать, meaning to pump. When you add the prefix "c", it means means "pumping down from." Pumping a file down from the internet to your computer. Well, that's the way I remember it at least...

"Скачать" is a colloquial/computer slang word. "Загрузить" is more literary.

I think that you mean a "warm" (жаркий / горячий) gun, unless this song really was about a gun full of черви! :lol:

I admit I also looked for that word in dictionaries at no avail, though I guessed the meaning for the context. I just wanted to check what could be the reason for acquiring such a meaning. (In Spanish we say 'bajar', which means 'go down').

BTW, what's that ГИБДД?

And now, for those who understand Spanish, another joke (if you also know something about Basque, then it's more understandable):

ГИБДД - Государственная инспекция безопасности дорожного движения. Official website is www.gai.ru :wink:

By the way, I always wanted to know why the Spanish use inverted question marks at the beginning of a quesion. Is there any answer?

It's just that way. If you are reading a long question you can see just by at the beginning that it is a question.

Any language has big questions. But only Spanish feels so "accurate" about that. :?

I don't know where this comes from. But many people in informal writing tend to omit this, at least here in Catalonia, where inverted marks are not used when writing in Catalan. Let alone when writing emails or sms, where many people tend to contract even words like 'de' or 'por'.
