Learning Russian is wicked awesome. You get to see where anthony burgess got a ton of the words from clockwork orange slang:
droog = друг (trust me on the pronunciation being similar), both meaning friend
horrorshow = хорошо , good
malenky = мальенкий, little
baboochka = бабушка, grandma
bolshy = большой, big
govorett = говорит, to speak

i've tried learning russian. it didn't go so well the first time, but since i'll be going in a few years, i'd better start again. do they offer it at your school, or what?

Yay! I like Russian too! Even though I am a suckass at it. But I figure I do a little better than some people, so I at least feel okay. And if it's going to help my understand Clockwork Orange, I think I'll be ready to start reading it again. I tried in high school and got frustrated and confused and gave up. I will try again. Yay, Russian! And you should get yo' shitass to class more often, biatch. YEP.
