This is true, as I know Wesha's native language to be very different from our own here in the US. For that reason and for a few others, I'm willing to let this pass by.
Ha! That explains it, he's from Russia! Don't get me wrong, I'm not implying people from Russia act like complete asshats, or anything. But this *does* explain a lot to me now, on a serious tip. One of my best friends [Alek, or Alex] is from Moscow. The language barrier is incredible! I can barely understand him on the phone. Online, I will sometimes say things like "Hey Alex. How do you say [profane phrase] in Russian?" "Uh...there are no words that exist that mean this exact thing." "WTF, it's only [common profane phrase]!" "Ok well, something similar will be [russian], and it will litterally mean monkey buttocks." "MONKEY BUTTOCKS? Man, that's not very insulting to me!" "But it is really insulting in Russian. I can't explain, just use it."
