Aaron’s Lovely Russian

When I randomly run into Ivan in the hallway, sometimes I talk to him in Russian.  Aaron, my labmate, does not speak Russian, but he likes to swear in Russian when Ivan and I speak.

Here is one of our conversations:

«Куда ты идешь?» (Where are you going?) I asked as Aaron and I trudged up the steps.

«В лабораторию,» (To the lab) said Ivan as he walked down the stairs, to his lab, obviously.

«Моргала выколю, падла,» Aaron replied vehemently.  I won’t translate it, because it’s not such a nice thing to say.  And yes, that is pretty much all the Russian that he knows.

And this is how most of our conversations go.  Sometimes Aaron switches around the swear words, but that’s about it.
