ėb tvoju mat'

'fuck you' Literally 'I have fucked your mother.' 'ėb' is an obsolete
form of the past tense masculine singular. The normal past tense of
"ebat'" is "ebal, ebala, etc.". This is probably the most offensive term
in Russian, though commonly used.

What I really don't get about that scene after the hand has commenced
is why, after Teddy has said "No more!", Gramma says "What do you
mean, no more, Teddy; take it down!"

Take what down? He just ran into the nuts.

I thought Gramma said, "Take him down!", referring to Mike. Gramma
wanted KGB to continue playing to take down Mike, not just give up.

bought chips ahoy instead of oreos." dhb6

Shows how dumb I am ... all along I thought KBG was saying "Walmart,"
which of course is the most offensive term in English, but also, one of
the most commonly used.

He says "take it back," not take it down I believe.
