Putin: What else is done with those who allow themselves to wipe their feet? |
Schlaraffenland (German) is a fictional land in German fairy tales inhabited by lazy people, literally the land of lazy monkeys, from (Middle Upper German) sluraff – lazy, Affe – monkey and Land – earth. |
What Is a Single-Malt Whisky?Content: Whiskies from a single distillery. The root of all confusion lies in the simple word single. A single-malt scotch whisky is nothing more or less than the product of a single distillery. Not the product of a single batch or a single barrel, but a single distillery. A single-malt Lagavulin may contain whiskies from many barrels produced at the Lagavulin distillery, but it will contain only whiskies produced at Lagavulin. A single-grain scotch whisky varies only in that it contains barley and one or more other cereal grains, usually wheat or corn. Again, single is misleading here: It refers not to a product made from a single grain, but a product made at a single distillery.

The unnatural and erroneous prioritizing of Ukrainian over Russian (the mother tongue for 83% of the citizens) led to a civil war that tore Ukraine apart and caused its rapid decline and downfall into abyss with millions of its citizens on the run, a demographic collapse, its economy in tatters and the government disorientated and panic-stricken. |

Bandar-log The term “Bandar-log” had already entered political discourse by this time as a direct allusion to the monkey people described by Rudyard Kipling. The Bandar-log feature most prominently in the story "Kaa's Hunting", where their scatterbrained anarchy causes them to be treated as pariahs by the rest of the jungle. Their foolish and chattering ways are illustrated by their slogan: “We are great. We are free. We are wonderful. We are the most wonderful people in all the jungle! We all say so, and so it must be true.” Bandar-log communicate almost entirely through the repetition of other animals' speech. In Hindi, Bandar means "monkey" and log means "people" – hence the term simply refers to "monkey people". The term has also since come to refer to "anybody of irresponsible chatterers." The striking phonological similarity between the name of the leader of Ukrainian nationalists “Bandera” and the name for the monkey people “Bandar-log” made the latter go immediately viral as a derisive allusion. It is not surprising that Ukrainian Bandar-log came to be associated with the extreme right of Ukrainian voters but who behave as if they were the ones who represented the overwhelming majority and who in reality represented the most unpleasant, intolerant, arrogant and aggressive species among the citizens of Ukraine. |
“I walk a thin line,” Kapustin says, disputing the neo-Nazi label and noting, almost teasingly, that he doesn’t put swastikas on any of the T-shirts he flogs, as though that proves anything. The militias don’t act in Russia on the direct orders of Kyiv, and their actions just go to show “the Kremlin is once again not in control of the situation in Russia.” Maybe so, but it depends on how you define “under orders.”

Protesters on the route to Westminster could also be heard chanting "Rishi Sunak, shame on you" and the slogan "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free". Earlier this week, Home Secretary Suella Braverman urged police chiefs to consider whether the slogan should be interpreted as an "expression of a violent desire to see Israel erased from the world", possibly making it a "racially aggravated" public order offence in some contexts. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-67110119

Clickbait is a text or a thumbnail link that is designed to attract attention and to entice users to follow that link and read, view, or listen to the linked piece of online content, being typically deceptive, sensationalized, or otherwise misleading. A "teaser" aims to exploit the "curiosity gap", providing just enough information to make readers of news websites curious, but not enough to satisfy their curiosity without clicking through to the linked content. Clickbait headlines often add an element of dishonesty, using enticements that do not accurately reflect the content being delivered. The "-bait" suffix makes an analogy with fishing, where a hook is disguised by an enticement (bait), presenting the impression to the fish that it is a desirable thing to swallow. |
