Verte

Thanks LBrain for this useful bit and Seanfox for the thread:

spacibo, nyet, predpisnie vrach -

spah-see'-bo / nyet / pred-pree-san'-ya / vrach (like watch)

thank you, no, by direction of, doctor

the 'R' has a 'D' like sound similar to Spanish rd vr datch - per LBrain


When I arrived at work today someone said:

"Oh my gosh I wish you would have been with me to drink **** at that meeting on Tuesday night!!"

Felt like an unexpected shock to the chest. But I recovered well with "No thanks, Doctors orders" IN Russian, no less. And then died laughing. Party of one!!

Sometimes the unexpected little daily thrills are the very best thrills. Thanks. I laugh now every time I say it (especially with a deep, smoky voice).

Pred pee san ya. No 'r' in second syllable. Ooops

Yeah, like Boris from rocky n Bullwinkle
