My favorite is, "Hooey yemo vrot shto bwee galava nee kochalis". I guess it means something like "Someone put a (censored) in his mouth to keep his head from swinging back and forth".

What cracks me up is when someone (usually older) says something like, "That's a bunch of hooey". As anyone with remedial knowledge of Russian is aware "hooey" means "schlong" and is often the basis of their vulgarity.

There was an ad in the paper a few years back announcing a demonstration by a fly fishing expert named "Tim Hooey". I clipped the ad and showed it to my Russian and Ukrainian friends who, of course, derived great amusement from it.

It really wasn't that funny. I've seen funnier. I wonder how many of you actually speak my mother tongue or just know the bad words "yebat'", "blyad'", "pizdets", etc.

I've taken 3 semesters of Russian and have no idea what's going on.

It's a male name. He was trying to recall his friend's name.

When they got home the croc told him he was going to take a shower and told him not to smoke the weed. He called out from the shower to his friend to bring him a towel and the friend was debating how to do this in a way that the croc wouldn't realized he was high as a kite.

Really? For example? I mean, I know for a fact that the diminutive of Genady is Genya, but I'm not sure which other words end in "genya" and I've been speaking the language my whole life.
