Pedal Horse

We're in the process of job hunting, so it's going to be sparse for a while, but my wife shared with me an insult, a "pedal horse".  It means that you're compared to a horse that goes places by using a bicycle (hence the pedals on the bicycle), which means that you're going about something all wrong.

Cheers.

Featured Russian Media: Kolobok

Today I'm sharing with you something M showed me some time ago.  It is a cartoon of a popular story of Kolobok *call-ah-bok* (small round bun) who runs away from home and has to survive using his singing ability to avoid being eaten.



To call someone a Kolobok generally is to call them unattractively fat, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you were jokingly referring to yourself.
