There is a word in Russian, which is very relevant these days, but which is very hard to translate: ัะพะฟะพัะฝัะน (topรณrnyj). It's an adjective from the word for "axe". Something like "axe-like" or "made with an axe". ๐งต
It has been used since the early 19th century to describe things which one would expect to be well-made, careful, or beautiful, and which, well, are not.
There are many other great things in life, but this thread is not about them.
A couple of weeks ago I celebrated a birthday in an Italian restaurant in #Haifa, and I saw a pack of pasta of a curious shape on a shelf there. I asked whether they serve it or sell it.
