So I guess it’s a bout ‘xyй’. I think this word was one of the two words some great friends from Lviv taught me. But I guess my Cyrillic alphabet is good enough to see that it can be translated in toe ‘gui’. This sounds harmless, but some of our Dutch colleagues should remember why their Ukrainian colleagues were laughing when they said ‘goei’emorgen.

So that is what the axes of the coordinates say together

that’s nice

Tom, if only in school instead of X and Y you had used D and K you would have realized that putting I instead of a Z in the third dimension makes it a dik

it may not look funny when it’s in Enlglish. cultural difference make these words appear different for natives. But in Russian this accidental though apparent combination looks really funny. and the word can be used in a non-offensive way, like a joke or something, though it’s still dirty. Hard to explain really but I did my best
