A Russian local politician who dangled spaghetti from his ears while listening to a speech by President Vladimir Putin has been fined 150,000 rubles (£11,612) on a charge of discrediting Russia’s armed forces, according to a human rights monitoring group.

Mikhail Abdalkin, a Communist party lawmaker in the southern Russian region of Samara, posted a video of himself remotely watching Putin’s state of the nation address last month.

The phrase “to hang noodles on someone’s ears” is based on a Russian saying that refers to someone who has been strung along or deceived.

The monitoring group OVD-Info quoted Abdalkin as saying it had been an ironic gesture to express his dissatisfaction with “the president’s silence about internal political problems”.

8. LOL.

Two flipped phrases.


Fool "spreads his ears" (razvesit' uxkhi) so that the liar or deceiver could "navesit' lapshu" (hang lapsha on them--lapsha is a kind of egg noodle).
