Originally posted by Ygrene I once saw Swamper peel off 4 or 5 $100 bills from a fat roll and say this to Donald Trump: "Go clean yourself up; you look like a bum.". And then he threw the bills right in Trump's face/hair! Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

How would that sound in transliteration?

I'm working on a song, it has a russian folk / tetris type theme [its not a tetris song :P] And the idea is a small old [somewhat busted/strange] musix box playing next to a grand piano.

Anyways, what is a good catchy russian name showing this idea that I could use?

I am going to transliterate it [this means spell the pronounceation with english letters, for those that don't know]

Nah, mate - I'm fully fluent reading/writing. Used to work as a part-time translator for local gov't offices and translated various forms. Shitty pay for ungrateful bastards (read FOB Russkies)

Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
