"The Englishwoman shits" - the British newspaper tried to explain the meaning of this Russian phrase

In the latest issue of The Times, the winged phrase "Englishwoman shits" appeared, which was given in the original language. The British newspaper tried to explain to its readers the meaning of this Russian phrase.

Let the study of Russian begin with this phrase

- political scientist Vladimir Kornilov commented on this publication in his Telegram channel.

The name of the specific author of this winged expression has not been preserved, therefore it is considered to be part of Russian folklore. It is usually associated with the British policy that London has been pursuing towards Russia for centuries.

Since the ground forces of Great Britain could not act on an equal footing against powerful European powers, including the Russian state, the British usually achieved their goals by proxy. Most often, London acted not so much by force weaponshow much with the help of money. The British financed the Allies to sacrifice the lives of their soldiers for the British interests.

For the first time, the phrase "Englishwoman shits" appeared in the XNUMXth century, during the Crimean War - practically the only major and open armed conflict in stories between Russia and Britain. Then she took root in Russian society and is still mentioned. True, after the October Revolution of 1917, the expression began to lose its popularity, and in Soviet times it was practically not used.

Today, the phrase "Englishwoman shits" is used both in private conversations and in publications in the press, speeches by media people.

So spoiled that it will not be possible to rake

[NIKN]

"Englishwoman spoils" the feeling that she is already spoiling herself.

[ShDE]

I would wonder what and how much she eats, what spoils so much.

Well, the Augean stables were raked, Hercules cleaned it up in a radical way, and here it is necessary to approach radically. It is RADICAL, not radical.

[2112vda]

Hercules solved this problem by washing off all the sewage with water. It seems that in this case, it will also be necessary to "flush with water" the spoiling characters. Nothing can be done, history tends to repeat itself.

"Englishwoman crap"

"The literal translation is "the Englishwoman shits".
The phrase seemed offensive to journalists: in their opinion, Britain treats Russia normally, but Russia does not like Britain "(InoSMI). As usual, from a sore head to a healthy one. Don't shit. Our ancestors knew what they were saying and did not scatter words in vain which has since been confirmed more than once.

[Irokez]

Similarly, Churchill clearly noted about Poland - "The Hyena of Europe."

They are stupid as always. To shit smb. in English - it's not to spoil someone, but to spoil someone. So the stupid Brits again sat in a puddle in full confidence that the Englishwoman is shitting - I mean, she robbed Russia, but in fact, just, a la hat, heaped a bunch in the corner, and, pleased with herself, prints all sorts of things in the Times crap

"The literal translation is "the Englishwoman shits".

Depending on the gender of the reigning person, "Englishwoman / Englishwoman" can be changed from "respect" to "Englishman / Englishman".

You can say this - all the British crap.

You're right. The British spoil the whole world, not just RUSSIA.
At the same time, they are confident in their right to shit and do not feel any *remorse*, since they all serve the king. Servants have no conscience.

[Rumata]

Not so easy to translate.
1. It is necessary to explain the noun gad in the sense of not a god or a snake, but a bastard.
2. Crap is a verb from the noun reptile.
3. Crap it and do dirty tricks and defecate.)))

[Horon]

1. It is necessary to explain the noun gad in the sense of not a god or a snake, but a bastard.

More precisely, a scoundrel is a person who does meanness or provocation, or a more commonly used word in everyday life: "nasty", from the word "gad" (the biblical serpent, mentioned in just such a role in relation to a person)
Therefore, "to spoil" means to do meanness or provocation on the sly, hiding behind the guise of decency or virtue.

[balabol]

I had the impression that this expression refers to the 19th century, to the politics of Queen Victoria. Therefore, in the feminine gender. Speaking intelligently, this means: "The policy of the main Englishwoman - Queen Victoria - is aimed at counteracting and limiting Russia."
those still "Englishwoman shits"

[old]

When the death of Queen Elizabeth II became known in Argentina, the host of Canal 24 opened a bottle of champagne on the air. No one is forgotten, nothing is forgotten!

Arrogant Saxons are perhaps the meanest nation on the planet .. Let's say the same nemchura - for obvious reasons, a Russian person cannot love them, there is too much blood between us. But - the Germans always fought with us honestly, face to face. Yes - they killed us, but we killed them too. Yes - they did us a lot of shit, but after all, we also beat them in the snout more than once .. Like it or not - they were real fighters, to defeat such ones is an honor and true glory. And so it is with almost all peoples ..

And only impudent people always act vilely, surreptitiously, with the wrong hands. Sincerity - not a penny, always some kind of dirty trick behind your back. Nasty people - why respect them? No wonder the Sumerians and Poles love them so much ..

[Hagakure]

There is a proverb (it seems Irish): if you had a fight with a neighbor yesterday, then the day before, one of you had an Englishman visiting.

[Il'nur]

Nasty people...
No wonder the Sumerians and Poles love them so much

Like attracts like, and here one abomination was attracted to each other ...

[former soldier]

It is usually associated with the British policy that London has been pursuing towards Russia for centuries.

Not only against Russia. And the point is that Britain has always and against everyone used all possible methods of struggle, including dirty ones on the verge of human morality.

[Alex DHG]

Ugh. Not only is the Englishwoman disgusting, but also touchy. Finished, in general.

[dmi.pris1]

It is strange that they are preoccupied with this phrase. By and large, they do not care what others say and think about them ...

[point]

good question, because half of the answer is in it, even more. In the second half of the XNUMXth, TNC capitalism took shape with its specific class of global managers. These, for their own survival, formatted the decision-making system for themselves and the power of money instead of the power of debt began to steer, the tribal elite lost its monopoly on opinion formation.
The expression "an Englishwoman crap" is a typical koan in which different meanings are contrasted and reveal the content of nuances for a native speaker who is sensitive to shades. The most stupid reading of the "lady over the vase", which, as we are told here, was adopted by the newspaper, is an outrageous desecration of the image of the "English lady". But for common speech, this is just the very thing, it would seem. Meanwhile, this phrase is literally attributed to the speech of the Russian nobleman. Should we go for the bait and consider the "Russian nobleman" to speak bestiality just because he is Russian? And the nobleman, can he, or when he deigns, then his speech has a non-random character? At this stage, it is time to understand that the phrase is ambiguous and by this very fact demonstrates a far from profane understanding of the situation by the speaker and his listener.
In the background there was a historical perspective, in which it is the feminine gender, the active voice that makes sense. The historical context creates a perspective and thus contains a hint that this is an extended action, which means you can think about the goals and prerequisites, forms of expression of this muck. At this stage, it is already clear that the conversation is about filth, and not a riddle.
Naturally, we come to the third layer of awareness that "a.g." is not a form of speech, but a specification of the characteristic behavior of the British Empire in foreign policy. The behavior is so characteristic that it is impossible to replace the word "Englishwoman" with something characterizing the French or German colonial policy. Thus, we return to the image of Britain for a small "Englishwoman" and the formation of an emotional attitude to the image and action.
... I think that British diplomats, who were not too lazy to learn from the best anti-Soviet, understand all this very well, because their teachers were still brought up in the outgoing school. But for newspapers and business, they no longer have proper patrons.

[Tryams]

pro Y - "Shit Europe" in the next release
oh no, in the same

that they sacrifice the lives of their soldiers for the sake of British interests.

[al3x]

And what epithets, metaphors, phraseological units does the author of this article use so that his reader fully understands the meaning of this expression, so to speak, so that he can feel as much as a resident of the state whose actions we are talking about can?

[Two diplomas]

The Englishwoman shits, and Poseidon rakes.

For the sake of justice, it is worth mentioning that the Anglo-Saxons, that is, the Angles and Saxons, as well as two other tribes - the Frisians and the Utes - are just the same ancient Germanic tribes. All this rabble under the onslaught of the Huns was forced out to Britain ....

For the sake of justice ... Try to define this concept - "justice". In my opinion, the most general definition is the one formulated by one of the Orthodox priests: "justice is when every thing in the universe is in its place." Of course, this is a party concept and it can be interpreted from different positions in different ways. But that's not what we're talking about now. For the sake of justice ... it is worth mentioning that English and German are different languages, and language affects the formation of mentality. In turn, according to scientific ideas about the formation of a citizen of a certain country, the mentality is the quality of the individual and the ultimate goal of its education. Therefore, in my opinion, it is unfair to make such arguments for the sake of justice. There are completely different motives here.

Lugovoy gave a good deal of how the Englishwoman crap.

I wonder if there are other similar phrases?
The Germans about us, the French or the British. Or the British against us, the Spaniards, the French.

[andelc]

An Englishwoman, in the sense of a queen, spoils in the sense of hurting (rude).

english queen hurts nasty

[Vovan]

Wasn't Ivan the Terrible talking about Elizabeth I?

[Sergey G]

These naglobrites still do not fully understand the great Russian language!

[General failure]

The Times team obviosly lacks the person competent in Russian.

"The Englishwoman crap" is a historical term of times when Russian and English empires clashed in the East in 19th century.
"Englishwoman" was a term for Queen Victoria.
And "shits" was not an act of defecation, but "does nasty things to us".

And, this term lives just because England govt keeps doing nasty things to us.
