"Funny how they all seem to have avoided this thread like the plague -- or polonium."
Well, "Cheburashka" popped up. But it is indeed funny and amusing. For general benefit [pro bono] in the early part of the polonium affair I formulated 3 basic rules on them:
1. Not a single words passing the lips of a kegebun could be trusted [and that includes the pauses they need to catch the breath or to swallow the saliva];
2. Not a single constructive deed by a kegebun can be trusted either. If a kegebun malingers a suicide - mistrust it and make sure by a double tap to the head. To their destructive capacity, however, one can give full faith and credit.
3. For the purposes of Rules 1 and 2, kegebuns are all those associated with the infamous organization, its predecessors, successors, assignees, creditors, lessees, etc [collectively, KGB], and all those associating with and/or pushing its agenda.

Khrushchev was affectionately known as 'zhopa s ushami' [= "a-hole with ears"], and not as a teapot.

Well, the basic etiquette requires using commonly understood language on a public forum. Thus, when necessary, transliterations could be provided, but - as a common courtesy - they ought to be accompanied by translations.

The official says investigators have concluded, based on forensic evidence and intelligence reports, that the murder was a "state-sponsored" assassination orchestrated by Russian security services.
Putin has been busy.
Why is Russia allowed to be in the G8? If they're going to act this way, it should revert to being the G7.

"Well, the basic etiquette requires using commonly understood language on a public forum."You had no way of knowing that Russian was my first language and I was just showing off.

That's why I immediately provided the English translation. If you can get 'zhopu s ushami' without it - good and well. If you know the old joke from which it came - even better. And if you did not happen to know these - the translation was supposed to take care of the situation.

"Cheburashka" is a FReeper screenname [post #11 on this thread is his/hers]. "kegebun" - dissident slang, derived from "KGB", and meaning, literally, "KGB-effer", or "effing KGB-[person]". Post # 21 explained who, and what, they are.
