• Скучать по... (+dative) (imperfective)
  [sku-chat' pa...]
  To miss someone

- Ещё как!
[ty pa mnye sku-cha-l(a)? yeshcho kak!]
🇬🇧 - Have you been missing me?

- А что потом?
- A потом - суп с котом!
[a shto pa-tom? A pa-tom - sup s ka-tom]
- And (what there will be) after that?
- And then (there will be) soup with a cat.

🔻This is a colloquial, ironic answer to the question 'and then (after that)?'; an irrelevant answer to the question of what happened or will happen next.

🔻This expression implies that what will happen next is unknown and serves to stop numerous/annoying questions about it.

Origin:
Some sources say that the expression 'Суп с котом' does not mean a hot dish at all, but comes from the Latin (or Greek) expression “Sup scato”, which literally means 'Bad' but sounds similar to 'Суп с котом'.

👋Приветик всем!

• Батониться (imperfective)
  [ba-to-ni-tsa]
  SLT: To lie around in bed, rest,
do absolutely nothing
  To veg out, vegetate

🔻'Батониться' comes from the muscular noun 'батон' (a loaf of white bread) which usually does nothing but lies on the table.

🔻It is similar to English verb 'to loaf (around)' = to do nothing, to waste time.

• Приду домой и все выходные буду батониться!
[pri-du da-moy i fse vy-khad-ny-yi bu-du ba-to-ni-tsya]
🇬🇧 I'll come home and spend the whole weekend lying in bed!

🎧🗣👇 Listen, practice, ну, и батоньтесь по возможности:)

🔻In 1885, by order of Alexander III, the first Fabergé egg was created.

🔻It was supposed to be a gift for the holiday of Holy Easter for Empress Maria Feodorovna.

🔻The creation of a gift was entrusted to the master of Carl Fabergé's company, Eric Collin.

🔻The base was made of gold coated with a layer of matte white enamel. Inside was a sphere simulating a yolk. It kept a golden hen.

🔻Besides, there was a surprise inside: a miniature copy of the imperial crown, decorated with diamonds, and a ruby ​​pendant. Both are now considered lost.

🔻The Empress was so fascinated by the gift that Emperor Alexander III made it a tradition.

🔻The tradition was adopted by Nicholas II, who every spring gave two eggs - to his mother Maria Feodorovna and his wife Alexandra Feodorovna.

🔻In total, 51 eggs were created for the House of Romanov; the 52 was unfinished due to the revolution in Russia.
