Subject: doofus Помогите, пожалуйста! У меня очень плохо со знанием американского сленга (а я подозреваю, это он и есть). Что такое big doofus? Может быть, многоуважаемый gogolesqui сумеет мне помочь? Thank you in advance.

Doofus is an alternative comic by Rick Altergott about two foolish creeps, Doofus and his pal Henry Hotchkiss, and their adventures in Flowertown U.S.A. Admirers of Doofus praise it as one of the 20th century's last great humor strips. =dimwit: a stupid incompetent person |
| Doofus is a man so dumb he thinks he's a genius. |
| Аналогично Папарацци имя собственное превратилось в нарицательное. |

a big doofus is a big fool you can say идиот, дурачок.... saying just dyrak will be too much (doofus is a nicer term and so dyrachok) maybe you can say "bedni moi/etot" but i dont think it is as good as dyrachok i usually say this to my friends when they do someting kind of dumb but not that stupid |
| Т.е. "болван"? "Идиот"? "Козел", right? Премного благодарна за помощь! |

can you tell me which book you were reading? if it is good, i would also like to read it. i miss reading normal (not bank texts) in english :) |
|
to Translucid Mushroom: "если этот doofus прийдет" - вот и все предложение - это реплика в диалоге. to gogolesque: it's Bradley Denton's book "Lunatics". Do you know this author? I suppose you read a lot of normal books in russian, don't you? |
