back to article Russians tell aliens to suck on a fat one

Doubtless inspired by the UK's huge farmer's arse, Russian wags recently decided to send a message of their own to visiting aliens, and have succeeded in getting their greeting onto Yahoo! Maps: "Cock" as seen atop Russian flats on Yahoo! Maps For those of you not up to speed on Russian sexual slang, хуй translates as "cock …

    For God's sake!

    I know it may have sounded like a good idea to run a "cock gag" theme (wranking-cock, downloader-small-coc and now this), but surely there's only so much cock you can expect us to take in one day?

    Oops, sorry....

    Knew I'd find something on the translation service one day that worked!

    Only one meaning

    Just a little more info on this exciting topic. Unlike "cock", "хуй" has only one meaning. It is meant to be a vulgar word in all contexts. Also, it means the same thing in other slavic languages as well - so many peoples can now rejoice in seeing their favorite word in Yahoo maps !

    Additionally, a very useful but often neglected property of this word, is that it can be spelled in latin alphabet like this = "xyu", and thus cleverly disguised as a mathematical equation.

    Russian Graffiti

    I'm all for it. While some may argue this was a pointless stunt, it is also harmless. And, in my opinion, funny and amusing...
