upyacka или upyachka Explanation: Simon, it;s a really difficult task, Упячка is a cultural phenomenon, the word itself is a symbol of creating words and language with no meaning. Translating a word which does not have a meaning is a real challenge. But it's упячка, свобода, равенство, пыщь! 111 Онотоле бог http://lurkmore.ru/Упячка |
