An idiom?

Helloooo...
My Russian teacher asked us to find out what "пол на полу" means. I don't know anyone who's Russian, so this is my only outlet (sorry!).

And for practice: Большое спасибо, если Вы меня поможете!

Hm... May be it's "flour on the floor"?

You've either got a typo there or... or I don't know. I've yet to see «пшеничный пол» or «пол грубого помола».

I mean "мука на полу" :)

And why would anyone take this perfectly random phrase, translate it into English, make a mistake in the translation, then translate it back to Russian and ask people to find out what it means?

Mmm... I don't know :) It was just an idea :)
