A Course of Foul/Forbidden Ukrainian for Ukie.com Admins.

[Somniferous]

It's a shame Ukie.com Admins are apparently restricted in their scope of Ukrainian language capacities. Language is a very complex conglomerate, including an unquotable vernacular which is oftentimes bashfully hushed up in unrated dictionaries and family intercourse. Still it is a language component and should not be left unattended or lost sight of in terms of both scientific candour and social implications.
That is why I propose to conduct an adopted "Ukie.com Admin's" course of Foul/Forbidden Ukrainian, especially aimed at bridging that deplorable gap that apparently exists at the Ukie.com Admins' level.

My Language Teaching education and personal experience have always prompted me to opt for the most vivid, spectacular and ravishing methods reinforced with actual, real life usage examples, references, and quotations to address my pupildom whenever any progress is to be expected.
This time as well, I see no reason for there being any exceptions to that Golden Rule of mine.

Making sure there is enough parent supervision available, shall I start then?

Lesson 1. (Intro: Today we're going to learn a filthy, nasty, society-banned Ukrainian idiom which is, however, very widely used by Ukrainian shoemakers, coachmen and...

Well, well... A real life usage example first! Here, class,

EXTREME BOTTOM MESSAGE ON PAGE 1 POSTED BY UKIE.COM'S SENIOR MEMBER STEVE VLASENKO which reads:

"Somniferous,

*** ***** ***

Vlas"

Which, translated into English, unambiguously and unequivocally means: "Somniferous! I have f****ed your mother!" or sometimes the opposite: "Somniferous, you're a motherf***er!"

Here you can source the reason why I concluded on your Ukr. Lang. scope defficiency unlike that of Ukie.com moderators:
Steve's neat observation found a ready, prompt, and laudable response in the heart of my thread Moderator, the so called "Irinka": "Well-said, Steve!"

You, Messrs. Ukie.com Admins, have a pretty tough job in front of you, with Lessons 2 thru 500 upcoming, but I do feel confident that you will endure despite all the thorns and thistles of this noble enlightening effort and will pass the final test with an A (stands for "excellent")!

And not an F (stands for...)

[ANDY-McJ]

I have seen this phrase a lot in Sven hassel books where it is translated as 'Go home and f*** your mother'.

[Somniferous]

Good for you, ANDY-McJ, Sven Hassel came very close, but you are better advised to address Ukrainian/Russian sources for reliability. Sadly, they are predominantly Ukrainian/Russian only, one of the most reliable of them being "Za predelamy russkikh slovarey".

Good one, Nonson!

I will consult the faculty to see if any expert on this adjacent specialty is available. Unfortunately, CRAPPING ON ONE'S NEIGHBOR was a Master's course at our University of Filth, Foulness and Faecal Fetish, while I stopped at the Bachelor's

Somi,

Are you trying for alliteration or illiterateness?
