Humour tricks

[kara-karina.livejournal.com]

Hi guys! Did anyone actually try to use some ironic phrases in Russian? For exemple..
1. Не смешите мои тапки..(don't make my slippers laugh)
2. Может еще и шнурки погладить? (Maybe you want me to iron your laces too?)
What is your experience?

Может тебе ещё на грудь поссать, чтоб морем пахло?
(Maybe I should pee on your chest too, in order to smell of sea?)

that's too rude

А в рот тебе не плюнуть жёваной морковкой? is probably borderline acceptable of the kind (Shouldn't I spit right in your mouth by chewed carrot?)

I usually say "...to your NOSE by chewed carrot" :))))

The second one is too old. Noone uses it i suppose

[miram.livejournal.com]

In fact, it is used. Also in e.g. this version: "Сейчас, только шнурки поглажу" (when one is not going to do something he's asked for).

Oh really? Разве только в Минске. Но не у нас в москве!

Speak for yourself, please.

Perhaps it's true with regard to your friends, but not generally.

Google (http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=%22%D1%88%D0%BD%D1%83%D1%80%D0%BA%D0%B8+%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B6%D1%83%22&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8) shows 414 pages containing "шнурки поглажу"; Yandex (http://www.yandex.ru/yandsearch?rpt=rad&text=%22%F8%ED%F3%F0%EA%E8+%EF%EE%E3%EB%E0%E6%F3%22) shows 2638 such pages from no less than 630 sites.

Moscali! It is widely used :) I know one , but it's way too complicated. It starts: "С точки зрения эстетики.." Although I can't imagine how to explain the sheer sense of it (which is no sense at all) in English

[ex-fractaliz864.livejournal.com]

"Moscali"? Heh :)

You should no call russians "moscali". Only ukrainians have that right :)

I can do that!

[kara-karina.livejournal.com]

I can actually. Quater of my bood is Ukrainian :) And I'm from Kuban, we call them "moscali" there.

Re: I can do that!

[kara-karina.livejournal.com]

Plus, we call in this case "Moscali" - people from Moscow :))

Re: I can do that!

[roma-termini.livejournal.com]

who are ORIGINALLY from Moscow

[roma-termini.livejournal.com]

ну да, в ваше время праотцов it's used

[roma-termini.livejournal.com]

на заборе тоже кое-что написано

It is a remarkably bad taste to mess up with the community maintainers, you see. And definitely not very rewarding.

Неубедительно. Спор идет об употребительности выражения -- видно же, что оно в ходу.
