Do Russians say cорри?
I think only when they want to sound "cool." It seems to me like when we Americans will randomly sprinkle in a bit of Spanish; I've seen plenty of people throw in a "gracias" or "dinero" or "yo quiero..." or whatever.
As well as Плииз (please) and Пипл (people) - it's a kind of slang.
Russians use many other words from many languages - like German Bitte schon/Danke schon, French Merci, Vuila and so on
I often say сори...just because I deal with English a lot and I got used to it...How can that make you cool anyway?
Better to say that it's a slang word than a "cool" one, probably. Just please don't say супер пупер! :)Quote:

Yes, of course, by all means say супер дупер. Just don't say супер пупер and it's all good! I suspect that the дупер somehow became corrupted in translation and became пупер, and therefore sounds absolutely ridiculous to an English speaker -- do I need to tell folks what "to poop" means? :? Then of course, there's always the legendary "pooper-scooper...."
Oh, firstly I mislooked the pun... :) Yeah... Pooper-scooper is funny in all the senses!
I never heard someone said супер-дупер.Quote:

In the US, we typically say "super duper"; google this and compare with "Super pooper." Not only is it alot more frequent, I'm afraid to open some of those links for "super pooper!" Maybe I'm just a language imperialist, though, who makes faces like this at those whose expressions I don't like: :evil:Quote:

I tried google image search for super-pooper, it gave me just 4 pages of results and there were nothing so frightening on them ;)
да, используется - но как сленг в разговорной речи
это замусоренный русский язык
лучше говорить: простите или извините

Also, the first time I heard a Russian say "супер-пупер" I thought it was pretty enjoyable :)

The standard web search brought up these titles on the first page (with alternate colored font goodness):Quote:

That's what I was referring to...
No probably not. I think that "back in the day" it used to be be used a bit more. I think generally it is used, as you said, by kiddies and when someone refers to a product of some sort, although even then, in a sort of ironical/mocking sense -- the kind of stuff the those idiot infomercial hacks sell. And there were of course the "Marks brothers" which included the great Mark "Super" Duper. Ah, the good old days, when the Dolphins had an offense...Quote:

And I promise you, it was NOT more amusing than having your grammar teacher say "супер пупер" about 100 times in one afternoon's class! :lol:
