How exactly do you call калина in English? Dicitionaries give many variants, but which one is common?

Если неумеренно употреблять национальный русский напиток "калина на коньяке", к этому и приведёт.

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.

Если калину собирать после заморозков, она не горькая. Перетёртая с сахаром она очень вкусная и полезная.

Ага, с сахаром... И настоечку сделать... Да под блины со сметанкой... Да после баньки...

Блин, у самого слюнки текут... Захлёбываюсь... 911!.. Позвоните кто-нить!..

Kalin(k)a is NOT poisonous! The poisonous one is the Volchya Yagoda, which looks preety much like Kalina. But anyway, that one isn't poisonous AS HELL as well :)

А еще можно купить бутылку водки (побольше, 0.7 - 1 л), отпить оттуда чуть-чуть (половинку), досыпать туда ягод (чтоб полная получилась), и, когда настоится, допить....
