Leona and the Ladies - Slavic Babuska
I was talking with friends about Leona and his “respecting ladies” attitude and culture… I said that his true test of courage would be with Slavic Babushka.
Babuska will be armed with a wooden spoon AND slippers for the жопа and ready to strike if he so much as sneezes wrong. Babuska doesn’t take well to a those who are дебил, babushka has wooden spoon and slippers ready.
One bad sneeze? One wrong move? жопа is as good as gone! The true test of courage is dealing with a babushka, they can be sweet, I know mine is, but oh man you are in for it if you do something stupid or say no to extra food. NEVER TELL A SLAVIC BABUSHKA NO TO MORE FOOD!!! They will pile it on and make sure you eat up well! Can actually confirm this as I’ve been to a Polish and Slovak Christmas celebration and my gods they feed you good and you’ll practically burst from it… the amount of food you get handed…
Yes, Slavic Babuskas are STRICT!! Never think you can simply slip through the cracks without being caught. Trust me, that sweet babuska you met will have left the bloody chat and you are TOAST!!
I can also say that my own grandmum was BRUTAL with my one ex boyfriend, she was actually wanting to meet him to basically interrogate him as he was Polish and that meant she was going to need to evaluate him herself. When I say Slavic babushkas are brutal with their grandkid’s partners I mean it.
Translations:
жопа - Zhopa: basically Russian slang for “ass” or bum.
дебил - Debil: Russian for “stupid”, “idiot”, or “moron”.
бабушка - Babuska: Russian for “grandmother”, can also be the translation for the headscarf many wear not only in Russia but in other Slavic countries.
(Even my Polish grandmother usually says “babuska” for herself at times or even uses the Slavic version of my mum’s name when referring to her. Of course that’s usually reserved for if grandmum is pissed…)
But Blume, how do you know this?
Slavic, very Slavic on my dad’s side, even on my mum’s side. While I am also very English, Welsh, Irish, Scottish, and have a good chunk of German, French, and Norwegian in my veins the fact remains that I am, especially through my dad’s side thanks to my late grandfather, am half of that Slavic chunk. There is some Russian in there but a lot of Slovakia and Poland, either way I have every reason to use these terms for fun or when with family.
