KpoccBopg

This was the word that appeared above a crossword puzzle on someone's Russian newspaper I saw in the train this morning.

I do not know its meaning.

I've been to the internet. I've seen your Babelfish. I've Launched your Apple Translation Widgets.

But not this time. This time I am going to let KpoccBopg exist on its own, and remain a mystery in my life.

Probably.

  1. Crossword!

    HA! You fail!

    It's actually a transliteration of the English word -- it essentially sounds the same in Russian.

  2. That is, if you look it up in babelfish, like I did a minute ago, you won't get an answer.

    Fortunately, I work with a native Russian speaker.

    Get all misty about THAT mystery!!
