Looking at the world from a Hungarian perspective, one word / phrase at a time. Jó szórakozást!
Recent Hungarian meme: Gondolom, nem gyalog (jöttünk) = I guess we didn't come on foot.

Fidesz's (aka Orban's) chief money laundering poodle took a helicopter and private jet to a footy match. When asked how he got there, this was his response. Now he wants to copyright it 444.hu/2025/06/30/m...

The Hungarian for "yarnbombing / guerrilla, urban, graffiti knitting / knit, crochet graffiti / yarn art" is 'gerillakötés'.

[These are at Teleki László tér, in the park opposite the market.]

The Hungarian for "builders' rubble" is 'sitt' from dialectic German 'Shiet' ultimately from the same root as Scheiße.

Which is funny since today it is the annual communal recycling day of unwanted household waste (lomtalanítás) and there is a lot of 'sitt' amongst the shit.

Rather despondent and dispirited (csüggedt és elszontyolodott) by the state of X, trying alternatives—again.
