Help me solve this mystery: I’ve been racking my brain and still can’t figure out what “B…t” means. It’s not just your letters that travel with me from penal colony to penal colony. Reports about my terrible behavior and paperwork on disciplinary penalties travel with me too. So far I’ve racked up 30 reprimands, and notice of one of them (an old one), after making the rounds of prison facilities across the Vladimir region, was finally presented to me for signature. It is so beautiful and mysterious that I actually took the trouble to copy out the accusatory part: “Upon entering the office, where he had been summoned to be informed of a reprimand, inmate Navalny failed to identify himself in the prescribed manner, used uncultured language (B…t), then demonstratively removed his cotton prison jacket, after which he left the office without permission.” So now I’m sitting here wondering: what exactly is this “B…t”? What could I possibly have said in that situation? “Blessedlessness”? “God-fearingness”? “Boundlessness”? “Behavioristicity”? “Bibliographicity”? “Biotechnologicality”? None of them fit. I appeal to the collective mind. What do people usually say (starting with “B…t”) right before demonstratively taking off their jacket? Write your suggestions in the comments. And by the way, did you see how the rating of the thieving United Russia party collapsed? 26% this weekend. Before the last State Duma (lower house of parliament) elections, it was 44%.
