0:55Now PlayingVladimir Putin, known for his addiction to inappropriate jokes, created a new idiom: rubber bums.
On September 1st, While talking to schoolchildren, he said: Being hard working is difficult; it doesn’t mean having rubber bums. The thing is that in the Russian language, there is an expression stone bum — which means being patient and diligent. But rubber bums? What does that mean? Maybe there is some allusion to political flexibility, and there was a kind of a signal to a young audience that they need to be loyal.
The expression became a meme and created a lot of jokes, including inappropriate ones. #shorts #putin
