And you thought that only our generation was famous for incomprehensible expressions? Not! Rofl and cake analogues existed long before us. Today we have collected for you a useful dictionary of Soviet words so that you can continue the conversation with your grandmother at the next feast.
Drink
And no, this is not the Russian analogue of the movie “Grinch”. The answer is rather bland – alcohol.
music in bones
This expression has its own history. Many recordings were made from x-rays in the USSR, and this slogan came from there.
lace in a glass
Especially for those who still live with their relatives and cannot invite their friends to their home. Laces in the cup = parents at home.
feather / bandit
We don’t know if this will help you remember your date with a new girlfriend, but having sex or making a mess is having sex.
Iron
Sometimes it is impossible to explain the origin of some words. Iron is one of them. This word was used not only for household appliances, but also for scammers.
Shoes on porridge
The next time you go shopping, you can show off to a salesperson by looking for high-soled boots flaky shoes.
leibak
Well, here we think it’s easy to guess: it’s a label.
mahawok
Are the punks here? Catch the forgotten name of the iconic mohawk hairstyle.
meningitis
Believe it or not, it’s a hat. Thank your mom for asking you to wear a hat, not a disease.
