@Renauda said in The Ukraine war thread:

Alex Jones’ face begs a brick.

I was thinking howitzer.

[Renauda]

Actually it’s Russian colloquialism for someone acting the arsehole idiot. Goes like this

рожа его просит кирпич.

@Renauda 'Prosit' as in 'ein Prosit der Gemūtlichkeit'?

[Renauda]

No it’s the third person singular form of the verb просить (procit’) meaning “to ask, request or,as in this context, beg”.

@Renauda I should have seen the link with 'prosim' (Slovakian for please).
