Define "pohuism," please
Christopher Coyne
Hi to all,
I met a cool Russian guy who briefly mentioned something about "pohuism" which
seemed to be a way to look at life in the former Soviet Union. Unfortunately,
his English was not good enough to give a dictionary-like definition of the
term. However, it seemed to be quite an interesting concept which went in line
with my views. Anyway, could you be so kind to define what "pohuism" means,
who "pohuists" are, and give some examples of truly "pohuist" behavior?
Thanks,
Chris

For a true "pohuist" everything is "do pizdy".

Pohuist is a person who does not care.
For example, such a person may want to urinate in
public, and if you tell him not to do so, because
he can get arrested, he might say "Po huyu" meaning
"I don't care."

So the topic must be included in Windows 98 "Tip of the day ..."

Pohuist was, is and will be ...

I asked some americans to spell that world and they gave me the spelling -
like "POHOYISIM", or "POHOISM". Only person with a deep knowledge of
Russian would spell it correctly like you did - "POHUISM".
Just checking my head ;)

I think it would be something like pissonitism.

Just TOTAL IGNORANCE. When you IGNORE EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY.

Kagalenko, I think that what you said is really pohui to him.

Thank you. Finally someone responded with what I wanted, and I appreciate
it. And while I don't consider myself a pohuist, I guess I do understand
the attraction for it.
And for the dude who called me a troll, I say, "pohui, you butt-fucking
son-of-a-bitch."
Thanks again,
Chris

That means that you havn't been in fact true "pokhuist".
Real, mature pokhuist is forever.

A news reporter asks a member of a pokhuists club:
- Is it true that everything is pokhuiu to the members of this club?
-Absolutely!
_... the III world war is pokhuiu?
-Yeap.
_... the global warming is pokhuiu?
-Yeap.
_... money is pokhuiu too?
-Nope, not the money.
_Well, how come, there is a contradiction, then?
_your contradiction is pokhuiu, however.

Hey! Pohuism is translated like fuck-it-ism. No matter what - fuck it...
