rottingleaf,

Sorry for insulting you.

But how else do you call a person who finds an ethnic slur in a word they don’t understand? I’d understand if I’d say anything about Ukrainians at all.

If I do something like that (happens regularly) I admit that I’m an idiot. I’m actually glad to discharge some of the frustration through that.

Well, if you liked the clarification part, the anecdote itself is:

"That’s a skull of Alexander when he was 5, that’s when he was 25, that’s when he was dead. Any questions?

  • How can one person have 3 skulls?
  • And you’re what?
  • A dachnik (that is, a person with a garden and now usually, then maybe a house without utilities in the countryside, living in the city).
  • Then go to hell, the lecture is for kolkhozniks."

The anecdote refers to the expected intelligence level of typical Soviet brochures, like of an enthusiast worker who offered to reduce the acceptable percentage of discarded product to “none” instead of some percent and similar.

And, well, maybe to how Soviet officials viewed their population.
