  So KRYMSKABAVOVNA?
  - phoe-krk 4y ago
    Yes, Crimean cotton. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bavovna https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bavovna seems to have more context for this.
  - danielodievich 4y ago
    Bavovna means cotton, which in Russian is spelled хлопок, which is a word that means both cotton and clap (or a loud clap), depending on which syllable you accent the word on. It is a play on current "New Russian" language that is part of the russian propaganda that calls explosions "claps", collapse "negative growth" and so on.

    "gorillion" is used outside of Holocaust denialism. As is "six", and "muh".

        "A Gorillian Dollars" was a short-lived meme back in 2011. It was a cartoon of a gorilla in a suit holding an open briefcase full of money. Described (derisively) on UD: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Gorillion%20Dollars https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Gorillion%20...

"bavovna" (бавовна) is explained by Illia Ponomarenko here better than I could myself: https://twitter.com/IAPonomarenko/status/1557458609541349376 https://twitter.com/IAPonomarenko/status/1557458609541349376

Is this related to the self-awareness Twitter meme? Amtrak tweeted "trains," Department of Energy tweeted "energy," and so on. The official Twitter account of Ukraine tweeted "victory" yesterday, might this be a play on the meme to show Defense Intelligence of Ukraine is all about ciphers?

  USSTRATCOM tweeted “Deterrence” I can’t feel anything other than we’re definitely living in the stupid timeline when nuclear weapons are tied to memes.

Caesar cipher for KRYMSKA BAVOVNA, translates as Crimean cotton. "Ukrainians ironically call explosions in Russia or in occupied territory 'cotton'-bavovna - бавовна, ridiculing Russian media use of a word хлопóк (a bang) in a sense of explosion, which is written in the same way as cotton - хлóпок" source: https://twitter.com/olgatokariuk/status/1557042276869734401 https://twitter.com/olgatokariuk/status/1557042276869734401

  In addition to this, the fluffy explosion clouds from the hit ammo, mil equpment, and fuel depots do resemble big wads of cotton in the sky, well, of much darker shade. Another expression apropos is "HIMARS o'clock".

  Is this linked to gun cotton in anyway?
  - quinndexter 4y ago
    It's because explosion clouds look like cotton. (Edit: And apparently a pun on the words for cotton and clap being similar)
    - benj111 4y ago
      Well the parent said the word for bang and cotton are the same. I was just wondering if firearms became popular around when gun cotton was a thing, and so they associated the two. Or whether the two words just happen to be the same.

Instead of peace propaganda, Ukrainians create memes about bombings. And not just any Ukrainians, this is posted by official Defence intelligence of Ukraine. How people will judge this in future ? IDK, but I think Ukrainians shooting yourself in the foot.
- klausjensen 4y ago
  ...And that is the topic you choose to focus on? Russian officials spew genocidal garbage, stating Ukraine is not a nation, all need to be de-nazified. Russian soldiers murder, rape and execute in the occupied areas, routinely shell and bomb civilians. Torture and murder prisoners of war. ...but God forbid the Ukranians post a funny meme. The horror. You encapsulate the reaction perfectly, which I have seen from Russians en-masse.
- djohnston 4y ago
  Lol for real? You think Ukrainians are the ones history is going to judge for this?
- Permit 4y ago
  > How people will judge this in future ? Probably quite favorably. There appears to be broad support for Ukrainians across the entire political spectrum in the western world. I can’t think of any other recent issues that have united the western world so completely. What kind of judgement did you have in mind?
  - diimdeep 4y ago
    I do not think memes about explosions (killing people) is acceptable in healthy society, does not matter who posts it and against whom.
    - rendall 4y ago
      Hard disagree if the killed are volunteers (i.e. invading, genocidal marauders). As the saying goes, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The solution to the problem of getting blown up by the defending army is pretty simple: surrender, or otherwise get the fuck out.
