🐶A dog-scooterist was spotted in St. Petersburg - the furry one took away a kid's ride.The only scooter rider we approve of! 🔥Some linguistic stuff you can skip: • Отжать (perf.) [at-zhat'] 1) Towring smth dry 2) To take away / to steal / to jack 🔻Originally, отжать meant to squeeze out (like juice from a fruit). In 1990s slang, it took on the meaning of to squeeze something out of someone - hence, to take or steal. 🔻This is not the same as украсть (to steal quietly). Отжать has an edge of open, cheeky, or semi-forceful taking. Often used for comedic effect. Example: • Хвостатый отжал у ребёнка средство передвижения. The furry one took the kid's ride. No guilt. Just fur and determination. #news #spoken_Russian 🟠RCR | Support | Boost

Hi, comrades! You remember my earlier posts about: 🔻Дело в шляпе 🔻Напихать полную панамку? But have you ever heard someone being called Эх, ты, шляпа! ? It sounds strange, right? • Эх, ты, шляпа! [ekh ty shlya-pa] Oh, you, hat! Meaning: You are clumsy, slow, absent-minded. Someone who misses opportunities or messes things up. 🔥Also: • Прошляпить (perf.) [prash-lya-pit'] Conjugation Meaning: To miss something important. To overlook. To let an opportunity slip away. Examples: • Ты ещё не прошляпил последний шанс выучить русский язык! You haven't missed the last chance to learn Russian! Origin: The word came into Russian slang straight from Yiddish and is a distorted form of the German verb schlafen (to sleep). And шляпа, accordingly, means sleepyhead, gaping person. 😉 Don't be a шляпа. Don't прошляпь an opportunity to learn some more Russian from me!

• Пискля (common gender) [pisk-lya] Squeaker, whiny thing Meaning: A person (usually a child) who whines or complains in a thin, high-pitched, annoying voice. Example: • Ну что ты как пискля? Why are you whining like a little squeaker? 🔻From the verb пищать = to squeak. A пискля is someone who makes high-pitched, irritating sounds of complaint. Not a swear word. Definitely not a compliment. 🔻But in Russian, it's more specific. It's not just about complaining. It's about the voice - thin, high, and impossible to ignore. #spoken_Russian 🟠RCR | Support | Boost

• Кипиш (masc.noun, no plural) [ki-pish] Meaning: A commotion, fuss, a trouble or a problematic situation: something that causes difficulties or conflict, a state of complete disorder and confusion. 🔻Кипиш almost always carries a negative connotation. It's not excitement in a good way, but rather a stressful, disruptive, or troublesome event. Example: • Не поднимай кипиш из-за ерунды. Don't make a fuss/commotion over nothing. / Don't stir up trouble over trifles. 🔻Most probably this word came to us from criminal underworld slang. There is a phrase which was first uttered by prisoners who were willing to join any revolt or protest, as long as it didn't involve a hunger strike. • Я за любой кипиш, кроме голодовки. SLT: I'm for any commotion, except a hunger strike. 🔻Кипиш definitely doesn't end with a soft sign (ь). 🔻In modern Russian, this slang word can only be masculine in gender. ▶️Не кипишуй! 🎧🗣👇 #spoken_Russian 😎RCR | Support | Boost
