Hmm! I always thought it meant an old bald Viking guy with his beard falling out.
Vinnie? ;)
Если неумеренно употреблять национальный русский напиток "калина на коньяке", к этому и приведёт.Quote:

Hohum! Kalinka means a very handsome young man with great potential in baking blinis. It also means peace in the old Slavic language of Skrussian.
Modern usage: Kalinka can be a diminutive form of Kalina, i.e. small (bunch of) kalina. What is kalina? A wonderful berry called guelder-rose in English, but I doubt you find them in you local supermarket it in the U.S.
Thanks for clarifying!!
When was it again that you were coming to visit? (*checks agenda and sets the table in anticipation*)Quote:
