Cussin' Russkii Style

If the Russians know how to do one thing, it's cook without any flavor. Seriously, they actively pursue the eradication of flavor (on a side note, georgian food has a ton of flavor...too soon?)

If they knowhow to do two it's banish flavor and curse in the most colorful, cutting, and visually evocative manner imaginable. As a special treat, our prof held a cursing class on the last morning. Here are some of my favs.

We say:

They say: (the russian equivalent of)

It's like giving a drink to a cee-you-next-tuesday.

We say:

Bullshit

They say:

Stop talking from your snatch

And this, this is my absolute favorite,

We say:

They say:

Go take a flying leap and land on a dick.

colorful, evocative.
