"Actually, it's pronounced "PO-pa". The "o" is long."

Exactly so. The accent's on the first syllable. Always a problem transcribing Russian.

Actually, it's pronounced "PO-pa". The "o" is long.

"I've learned quite a few words in my travels to Russia, but there is one learned that I haven't picked up but was curious about.
What is the word for a "butt", "buttock", "rear end", etc. ?"

Polite term is pawpa or pawpka

Less than polite is zhawpa

I've learned quite a few words in my travels to Russia, but there is one learned that I haven't picked up but was curious about.
What is the word for a "butt", "buttock", "rear end", etc. ?
My dictionary doesn't seem to mention this word.
But then it doesn't seem to mention many of the words that I've picked up over the years.

Hello All!

I will be in Moscow, for the third time, from July 28 to August 4, and am wondering who will be there. We can rendez-vous at Chestefield's and check out the Russian talent and compare notes on line-ups.

Just send me a PM.

May the Forum be with you,

Smitty

Big Bro:

Maybe you should add another fact- literacy rates in Turkey:
-male 94.3%
-female: 78.7%

Our females have the right to vote, but more than 20% of them cannot read and write... Why do you think we have this disparity?

Let me summarize Turkey for you. If you came from the West, you'd feel in the East there, and if you came from the East you'd feel in the West.

As this is the Russian board I am gonna shut up now. Enough of Turkey. Let's get back to business guys!

[PassinThrough]

Guys,

Enough on the racism. Let's face it, it exists everywhere, but let's not get it into the forum.

Now down to business. I went to Boarhouse with a friend last night and it was quite crowded. There were lots of girls arriving from a little after midnight until about 3:00 AM, but a lot of them just seemed interested in talking to their friends. There were a few trolling around talking to guys trying to get them interested but I would rate these as 4 or 5. The 8 and 9's looked like they were not interested in anything. I watched 2 beautiful girls for about 30 minutes, during that time 5 or 6 guys walked up to them and started a conversation only to walk away a couple minutes later. I am not sure what happened to them but when I tried talking to them they just didn't seem to want to be bothered with anyone.

My friend and I chatted with a few girls but the ones we were interested in didn't seem to be interested in us, so we left at about 3:00 alone. It could have been we were there to long since we caught the football match starting at about 11:00. We are heading back tonight to see if we have better luck, if not I may try a Tochka, though I am not familiar with them and not sure if I can just ask the Taxi driver to find one.

I'll report more later.

Guys,

With all due respect, this is not about whether racist drivel is justified (in my view it is certainly not), but about the fact that you find quite a lot of it in Russia. Even more astoundingly, unlike Europe and Nort America it is not limited to lower class people.

Russians often refer to muslim southerners as "Blackheads". (When I first heard that racial slur I logically assumed that African people are included, but no...) The semi-war in Chechnya serve as the present justification for ethnic hatred, but in my view this is only a convenient excuse. Before that, southerners were accused of being behind organised crime in Russia. Back in the heydays of communism they were accused of being anti-social. Stalin deported many of them, accusing them of having supported the Nazis. The Czars set the Kuban Kossacks on them... and so forth.

As far as I know, this hatred dates back to the confrontations between the Russians and the Turks in the 18th century, a point in time when the word "Tatars" resurfaced in the Russian language. (First used about the Mongolians much earlier, it is a phonetic word describing those who speak an incomprehensible language: ta-ta-ta-ta...) The Russian people were mobilised in outrage, hatred and agreession against "the others", and they have remained so ever since...
