Hmm, note to self...

Posted by Reznas , in Why?!!!1, Russian Experiences Aug 29 2012 · 106 views

Note to self, do not talk to Russian teenagers or young men in English...If you're reading this, this is probably the point in which you will say, "Oh, boy!". So what happened, is me and my friend were going to a store near his house to buy something. We passed these Russian kids and I said hi...in English. Then as we left I turned around and said, "Peace out." Apparently Russians do not understand the peace sign, so they decided to chase me and my friend into the store. We ran in and hid (In a corner ?) and then they found us (We're good at hiding) and one of the kids kept pulling my shirt and shoving me while the other asked what I had said. Hmm, not gonna try that again. Very interesting experience...

Did you get them arrested?

That's what I'd do. =P

Nah, they walked off without hurting either of us. Of course, had they tried they would have epicly failed, so either way would have the end result of them walking away.

I would assume that they interpreted the peace sign as an obscene gesture. :P

It's crazy how the same hand gesture can have very different meanings between cultures.

Then why did you run?
It might not have been the sign. What if they thought you were saying "pisayut" (urine) when you said "peace out"?

It's actually "piset" (Pronounced "peeset") which means to urinate and some other stuff...But either way, that could be a plausible reason.

Isn't pisayut one of the conjugated forms of the verb?
Well, technically, "piset" is "to urinate", but then "pisayet" you say if you are saying he or she or who urinated. So you would say "Ohn pisayet". So yes, "pisayet" is a conjugated verb. Thus, "piset" is the infinitive verb.
