In Russia doctors may be required to print prescriptions: many pharmacists and patients struggle to read their handwriting.
🔻This leads to the refusal of medication sales, treatment delays, or the dispensing of the wrong drug, believes MP Anton Tkachev. He emphasized that it's especially difficult for the elderly, who cannot decipher the prescriptions themselves.
📎 And you say you can't read what Russians write. Russians themselves struggle to decipher what other Russians write! :)

That merciless Russian cursive handwriting!
• Шиш
[shysh]
🔻This interjection (or sometimes exclamatory noun) is used to denote a strong, emphatic refusal, denial, or the idea of nothing or you won't get anything.
⚠️It's generally rude or dismissive!
🔻Шиш is a very close synonym of фиг. Both words are used in similar contexts to express negation, refusal, or to refer to the fig sign gesture.
🔻While фиг might be slightly more common and versatile in some everyday expressions, шиш carries a similar dismissive and negative connotation.

Напиток называется "Grappa", а не то что вы прочитали.
The drink is called Grappa, not what you read.

• Сучара (femin.)
[su-cha-ra]
⚠️ Vulgar slang! A highly offensive, intensified version of сука(bitch). Means something like a total bitch. Expresses extreme hatred, betrayal, or disgust.
❗️Do not use this word! Understand it only to recognize aggression in speech or media!
