EDITOR'S NOTE. Elena Sergeyeva <esergeyeva@worldbank.org> is quite
right. The two items below, especially the second, are prime examples of
poshlost' Both were first submitted to NABOKV-L by Sergei Il'yin in Moscow.
-------------------------------------------
Below is the best definition for word Poshlost' .
Forwarded message*************
1. Videl vchera v metro molodogo cheloveka s plastikovym paketom, na kotorom
izobrazhena oblokotivshayasya na sportivnyi velosiped blondinka let 25-ti.
Podpis' glasit: "Lolita".
(Yesterday in the subway I saw a young guy with a plastic package
depicting a blonde (circa 25) leaning her elbows on a sports bicycle. The
inscription read: "LOLITA.")
2. TV vremya ot vremeni pokazyvaet reklamu sigaret i zazhigalok "Lolita",
tochnogo proiskhozhdeniya kotorykh mne tak i ne udalos' ustanovit'.
Video-ryad soprovozhdaetsya zvukovym - sochnyi muzhskoy golos (HH?)
proiznosit: "Lolita vsegda so mnoy".
(TV here occasionally shows an ad for cigarettes and lighters with the
brand name LOLITA. I have not been able to ascertain their exact origin,
The TV ad is accompanied by a juicy masculine voice saying "Lolita is
always with me.") Editorial note: Cf. the once omnipresent "Lenin vsegda s
nami".
