Classic Soviet jokes (not about Gagarin):
- On average, we live pretty well: worse than last year, but definitely better than next year.
- Comrade, do you know what is the stage between socialism and communism ?
- Alcoholism
@kravietz A few days ago I have heard another one. Not Soviet, but well there we go: Co dostał Putin na urodziny? Krym do rąk... (it only makes sense in Polish though)
I think the difference is larger but still recognizable in English:
Krem vs Krym 🇵🇱
Cream vs Crimea 🇬🇧
@kravietz for some people in Poland krym will be the default word to say krem ;-) but then it will be krym do rynców (other forms are also possible) ;-)
@kravietz przypomniał mi się stary zwrot, który dla zgrywu koledzy z okolicznych wiosek mówili do znajomych, którym nie wychodziły podbije miłosne: bież te rynce ni ma synsu. ;-)
