ALASKA- Siberia in the all-Union sense of the word, the beauty of which was enjoyed by millions of tourists under the verdict of the court.

ARTELSHIK- the bigwigs of the shadow economy.

Nevertheless, A. were considered the masters of life, and some of them, moreover, became the masters of their own death. Among such A. was the legendary Leonid Sh., For whom the workers of all Odessa restaurants prayed. Leonid very often ordered a restaurant, all the tables of which were covered with the most exquisite dishes and drinks. Arriving at the restaurant with his bodyguards, Leonid took a sample, shouted: "What disgusting!" Considering that at that time there were only ten restaurants in the city, which were not easy to get into in the evening, earnings from second-hand tables were astronomical amounts. In the end, this A. was arrested, tried, sentenced to capital punishment and shot. Nevertheless, even after his death, Leonid Sh. Continued to enjoy all the delights of life.
The Ogonyok magazine published a message that the sentence had been carried out, and at that time Lenya, who was shot to death, was well toasting to the health of not Prosecutor General Rudenko at all.
The fact that A. Vitaly B. was sentenced to six years of strict regime with complete confiscation of property was written in almost all the central newspapers of the USSR. Six months after the verdict of the court, Vitaly, who is serving his sentence in a restaurant at the Odessa seaport, yelled at his late partners: "Have you forgotten how much a minute of my time costs?" Among those who were never late was Georgy Ch., Who was being corrected at that time "in chemistry", according to the court's verdict.
SCAM- a scam. Currently, the whole country is learning the correct pronunciation of this word in Odessa. Showman Ilya Noyabrev, who lived in Odessa at one time, is broadcasting a program called "Scam" on the all-Ukrainian TV channel "Inter".

ANTON in thug jargon long ago meant "janitor." In the Odessa language, it has a completely different, lower-belt meaning.

When meeting, this seventy-year-old man introduces himself as Tosik.A little boy walks up to a very fat man on the street. - Uncle, your pants are unbuttoned.

A minute later, from behind the door of Rosa's room, her heart-rending cry is heard: - Ah-ah ... But not that! - and the frightened girl flies out of the room. - Rose, is there really something impossible for you? - Bandersha asks in surprise. - Madame, he wanted to ... Oh, it's scary to repeat this ... - Bolder, Rose, bolder! - He wanted ... on ... on credit!
BINDYUZHNIK a man who was once engaged in cargo transportation on a huge parokonny cart called "binyug". Currently B. is synonymous with a rude, uneducated person.
Fyodor Trapochka was the last of Odessa bindyuzhniks. After the war, he worked part-time and with him this profession died forever.
I beg you, what kind of professor is this? Bindyuzhnik - and even then swears better.
BO- because; otherwise.
Yanka! How many times have I told you: don’t eat shit in the yard, I won’t let you have dinner. Is this a dog or a chocolate factory for you?
MORE WHOLE- so many.
- Where do you whip so much? There will be nothing left for the guests. Put the bottle down! - That one is even more intact. And anyway, do they come here to congratulate me or drink?
CURRENCER- reselling currency.
Instead of becoming, like the rest of the boys, a speculator, a bottle receiver, a grocery store director, or some other respected person, like a commission seller or even a currency dealer, this disgrace of our yard went to the factory, where it is now striving to receive a salary for the past year.
In those years, becoming a currency trader was as dangerous to your health as drinking tap water today.
VASYA- a name that is not in any demand among the parents of Odessa babies for several reasons. The first, but far from the main one, is the catch phrase from grandfather Krylov's fable "And Vaska listens and eats." The second is based on the now obsolete (due to the significant change in the city's ethnos) oath: May my name be Vasya! It is not even necessary to recall the anecdotes composed in tons of stories about the exploits of the illiterate and by no means limited by the powers of Vasily Ivanovich, as well as the expression “naked Vasya” (see Naked Vasya). In addition, the dry-cargo ship "Petr Vasev" was called Petyin Vasya even before its collision with the "Admiral Nakhimov", which resulted in the largest tragedy in the history of navigation on the Black Sea. Despite the fact that the tragedy claimed more than four hundred human lives, Odessa remained true to itself, immediately launching an anecdote across the country: In connection with the entry of the dry cargo ship "Petin Vasya" into the Mediterranean Sea, the Seventh American Fleet hastily left these waters.
Abram brought the cat home. - Sarah! Look what a beautiful cat, he will live with us. - And what shall we call it? - Moishe. - You, mishigene, how can an animal be called by a human name? - Okay. Let it be Vasya.
TAKE ARMED An old Odessa term that translates into modern Russian as providing a roof. It can also mean elementary extortion.
Monsieur Pavlovsky, terrible doubts are swirling among my brain convolutions. Are there any adolescents in Odessa who are tired of living with heads on their throats to get up with your gamazine, when everyone knows who took you under protection.
VUIKO WITH POLONINA The term was coined by E. Simonenko. Odessa is a synonym for such common expressions as zapadents, that is, a resident of Western Ukraine, or even a Bandera. V.S.P. is a character of many long-standing anecdotes, and to this day they are often striking not an eyebrow, but on business. V.S.P.'s long-standing philosophical views are reflected in some modern Western Ukrainian publications. Such as "Nationalist", "Naskorena nation" and others.
Vuiko descended from the valley into the city. He returned to the village with the negro woman. - Vuiko, what kind of boy do you have? - I adopted him. - Так он же негр. - But there is a guarantee that he is not a Jew or a Muscovite.
Vuiko waters the flower garden with oil from the meadow. - Vuiko, what are you doing, the flowers will disappear. “I do what I want, my flowers,” Vuiko replies, and he thinks: “The flowers may disappear, but the machine will not rust”.
In Lviv, nationalists are discussing the project of the monument to Petliura. We have already decided that it should be ten meters high, with a saber in the left hand, and a noose in the right. But then opinions were divided. Some say that a Jew should hang in a noose, while others want a Muscovite to be in his place. Vuiko from the valley says: - Lads, why are you arguing? Let the Jew hang for one day, and the Muscovite for one day.
WHERE where.
Where are you going?
GOLD STAR world famous corporation, in the fate of which Odessa played a fatal role. - What did you conjure to the Kristall firm two days before the breakup? How could anyone advise making a deal with these Gold Star businessmen? They have specially adhered to the name of a well-known company and make a fool of fraer. Fraer, and not our clients, you truncate, madam white sorceress? It was necessary to warn "Crystal": this distributor is not so much "Golden Star" as old Goldman with his manners. - What is it? - the white witch gave a voice. “Golden Star was also my client. And he asked for some vital energy to conclude a deal with Kristall. - By the way, "Kristall" paid us money. “Yes,” the white sorceress replied calmly. “But Golden Star paid more. And then "Kristall" is the same swindler as Goldman. There can be no complaints against us. It was all about time: which of them would fool the other first. As it should be in business. Is it our fault that Golden Star is a more powerful corporation than Crystal?? ■ For reference. A year after the events described, the non-Odessa firm "Gold Star" was forced to change its name and is now called "LG".
GOP STOP robbery in the middle of the street. Until 1917, not a single self-respecting thug humiliated himself to undress people. Only gopniks once hunted this, hence the name. Nowadays, this kind of robbery, as a rule, is also engaged not by people who have deliberately become "under the law", but by young lovers of easy money, who do not dream of becoming professionals, judging by their further sincere confessions caused by deep remorse in the offices of investigators.
Three men stop a lonely passerby late in the evening. - Life or wallet? - Give me a wallet, fuck your lives. For reference. After this dialogue, which took place on one of the streets of Odessa, the once catchphrase "Life or wallet" disappeared forever from the lexicon of robbers

The most polite form of one of the many Odessa good wishes. May God grant our prime minister to live on my pension and not deny himself anything.
MAKE MONEY- an innate skill of the majority of Odessa residents, absorbed with the milk of Odessa-mother.
This dumb-headed man didn't know how to do anything, not even money. No, you have to imagine such a thing? If his dad knew what kind of fuck it would be, he would have finished on the wall, and mom, just in case, would still run off for an abortion..
BEFORE SHOOT KARI OCHI An expression of absolute indifference. Corresponds to the phrase "Neither warm nor cold" in Russian.
- Mene tsikavit, who will clean up the garbage in the room? - Shura asked curiously. - And me - to asshole brown eyes! I came to work here as a salesman, not a sweeper.
"WILL I LIVE TILL THE MORNING?" the name of a group of homemade groceries. Advertised by the sellers themselves, in accordance with consumer protection law.
Pies, meat pies! "Will I live to see the morning?"
FRIEND HOMES (FAMILIES) Such a seemingly harmless phrase is actually one of the most powerful curses not only against the interlocutor, but also all his relatives and friends. D. D. is just part of the sentence: - Let's be friends at home. You will go to our name day, and we will come to your funeral.
INSANE a person whose soul hurts for his work; experiencing anxiety, suffering, worries about the fate of all progressive humanity.
So the heart bleeds and the soul aches for our brothers from Mozambique that there is no time to go to the doctor.
ZAMKOMPOMORDE It is now an outdated term. This is how the post of deputy commander for naval affairs was once officially called in the USSR. Z. is just one term from the Newspeak of the twenties of the last century, which aroused great admiration among all Odessa linguists.
“Let's see how you will command after the deputy commander,” is the most innocuous of all paraphrases using the expression Z.
To take The direct opposite of the interpretation of this word in Russian. Borrow something from someone, but mostly money.
- Rabinovich, borrow one hundred rubles. - Good. And who?
HELLO! the weakest degree of indignation.
On Privoz. - Young man, why was it necessary to slaughter such a small rabbit, there is almost no meat in it. - Did I score it? Hello! He himself died.
GOLD (GOLD) The term is derived from the now outdated expressions "golden company", "zolotototsy", already at the beginning of the twentieth century, were often used in a figurative sense. They, in turn, took their origin from the word "golden" - a sewer. So, if in Odessa they start calling you “a golden man”, “a master of golden hands” or they give a compliment to your offspring, such as: “Gold, not a child,” do not be too happy.
Go to mommy, my darling, Schaub tebe took away the sickness.
No, my mother-in-law is not gold for me, but real gold. Downright cousin mommy ... And gold is safest to store deep underground.
ZUSMAN cold; a surname that was once widespread in Odessa.
Outside the said zusman - five degrees Celsius.
AND a connecting union, which in the Odessa language is often placed at the beginning of a sentence.
And when will you stop urinating in the water?
And in order to go crazy, you could come up with something cheaper than getting married.
And these are my children ?! Then what are fascists?
GO THROW YOUR HEAD IN THE MANURE!
One of the most powerful insults. Translated into Russian it means: "It's time for you to return to where you come from, because there is nothing to do in this city like you." In recent decades, the phrase has become outdated, since life itself has convincingly proved: in their hometown, for a long time, there is nothing for the inhabitants of Odessa to do. -
You, thug, do you speak of synik matches? And to spend money on life with all its hospital consequences? Go throw your head into the manure before I pull my hands out of my pockets!
ENJOY hello (mockingly).
Paint you through the window. Where do you dry your laundry? On the coffin, by the oven, so that the thieves do not slam?
HAVE the most common term in the Odessa language. In colloquial speech, it should be used very carefully, since often the word I. is synonymous with the overly concretized concept of "live". If you say: "I have a woman from Kaluga itself!"
■ Young man! Are you less fussing about these kopecks? Have shame! I'm not asking for bread, but for vodka.
KEEP IN MIND do not put in anything.
I meant you and close-up!
HOW TO DRINK GIVE certainly. The expression was filled with new meaning in 1941, when the defenders of the besieged city, experiencing a shortage of drinking water, divided it by sips.
He, how to drink, will be late.
CANTOR In the Catholic Church - a chorister, in the Protestant church - a teacher; choir conductor; organist, in the synagogue - the main choir. Since in Odessa there were not only Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox and other churches, but also mosques, kenases, synagogues and other charitable institutions, in order to exclude a misunderstanding of the term K., townspeople and atheists belonging to different religious denominations began to call the scales cantor.
My Rose had such a good cantor. Until she stood on him.
- Zyama, you look as if taken from the cantor. Why did you eat such a face? It is difficult to pass through the doors with her. - I'm on your mind. I'm on a diet right now. Every day I go to the doctor, I become the cantor and he says that everything is going well. - So what did you get so blown away? - Because of the diet. I almost died of hunger. Then he gave the doctor a couple of kopecks and he allowed me to eat as much as I wanted.
CARLA MARX The creator of the Ghost of Communism, which wandered slightly throughout Europe and quickly moved to Russia for permanent residence. KM highly valued Odessa, he wrote that without Petersburg and Odessa Russia would turn into a giant with severed legs. Odessa reciprocated KM.
- Dad, who is Karla Marx? - Economist. - How is Aunt Tsilya? - Mishigene, aunt Tsilya senior economist!
I swear a word used in only one single phrase.
I swear on the health of my neighbors' children!
BTW, ABOUT BIRDS by the way, about anything except birds.
By the way, about the birds. When we lived in the Soviet Union, Eisenstein's film Battleship Potemkin was one of the ten best films in world cinema. And now the place of "Battleship" in it is taken by "Earth" Dovzhenko. By the way, about the birds. Do you have any idea what will happen tomorrow about the main masterpieces of cinema?
BUY YOUR COCK! don't fool me! Part of Odessa's catchphrase "Buy yourself a rooster and roll his balls."
A visitor asks an Odessite: - Tell me how to get to Sadovaya Street? - So, you go a block ahead, there is a bookstore, Tanya works on it with a fat ass, I fucked her last year. Turn right, walk two blocks, you will see Rosochka who sells pasties, I fucked her too, and you go on and get on any tram. You will reach Privoz and buy yourself a rooster there. - Why do I need a rooster? - So you will fuck his brains and twist balls, not me. We are standing on Sadovaya Street. This is, of course, an anecdote. Because on the houses of Sadovaya Street there are signs with its names. As well as on other streets, but only in the very center of the city. As soon as you move a little away from Deribasovskaya, you will find yourself on the streets, from whose houses the old plaques were removed in the last century, and the new ones have not been hung up to this day. It is clear to Koza that in the manufacture of new, beautiful, metal plates, someone wanted to rise (see. TO RISE), but for some political and economic reasons could not. By which one, or guess for yourself, or buy yourself a rooster.
