This expression isn't about friendship but rivalry. When a second bull appeared in a field with cows, the two rivals would fight fiercely for leadership. When a second arrives, they become so locked in battle that they can't be separated. But shepherds found a solution. They would douse the fighting pair with water, and while the bulls were stunned, they would pull them apart. So, the phrase was born. Example: • Мы с ним с детства не разлей вода. He and I have been inseparable since childhood. #spoken_Russian #phraseology 🟠RCR | Support | Boost

🐭 Russian Idiom: • (Он) мышей не ловит. [(on) my-shey ni lo-vit] SLT: (He) doesn't catch mice. Meaning: This phrase is used to say that someone isn't doing their job or isn't fulfilling their direct responsibilities. It implies that the person is slacking off or being useless in their designated role. Etymology: The idiom is based on the primary duty of a cat. If a cat doesn't catch mice, it's failing at its most basic, innate task. By extension, applying this to a person humorously and critically suggests they are neglecting their core function. Example: • Наш новый системный администратор мышей не ловит — сервер упал, а он в соцсетях. Our new system administrator doesn't catch mice — the server crashed, and he's on social media. A perfect, vivid way to call someone out for slacking! 😉 🎧🗣👇 #spoken_Russian #phraseology 😎RCR | Support | Boost
