My longest break? Stopping in Brentwood to buy a Mountain Dew and use the restroom.
Somehow, I think the construction industry in this area is recovering.
I need some good, phonetic, Russian insults to use on my boss.

"Yop tvoyu mat" Basically means "Go fuck your mother," it's seen as even coarser than it is in English.
(tvoyu rhymes with "go you," emphasis on the first sylable, mat sounds like mat.)

nee-ah-kul-toor-nee - "(you are) uncultured" - counterpart to unamerican or fake american, only moreso due to a stronger, more monoltihic Russian nationalism

I know a little Georgian... His name is Art.
Actually he told us how to say the respectible things, and when we messed up, he showed us how they were considered insults.
My favourite slip-up was "I don't respect you enough to even drink with you"

"You stir your tea with your Dick" is used, and comes out short and catchy. Maybe Babelfish will help.
Also, any handy thing you find in the dictionary -- if you want it to be an adjective, try adding -skaya to the end. (I learned that one on the job)
