Epigrams about ladies' men. The best toasts. Epigram toasts. Eugene and Evgenia

The meaning of this name is controversial. Some researchers consider it to be Persian, while the majority is inclined to believe that it comes from the Old Russian word "vaditi" - to sow confusion, argue, accuse, slander; perhaps this is a shortened form of the name Vladimir.

Usually Vadim is a healthy, sociable, cheerful child. He, like a lamb, will jump around the room or run hopping along the alley of the park, scaring grandmothers sitting on benches or bystanders with cries. But it is not from disobedience. Vadim reacts very sensitively to his mother's remarks, dearly loves her and his father, his sisters and brothers, if he has them, but he has so much unspent energy ... Therefore, in childhood, you need to make sure that the boy does not ride a bicycle onto the roadway, does not fall from a tree or balcony. He studies well, but teachers complain about his restlessness.

The Vadimovs make good leaders. They feel people well, caring, remember their promises. Extremely hardworking and dedicated. Once they start something, they won't stop until they get it. They are not devoid of prudence and some cunning, they carefully think over their actions and statements. They have good "punching" abilities, it is a pleasure to get something rare and scarce for them, they see this as a certain game, a sporting interest, experiencing the feeling of an athlete who has defeated his opponent.

Vadim are passionate, addicted natures. They can be addicted to cards, reckless, risk-averse. In entertainment, they adhere to the principle of "walk - walk like that" and sometimes, following it, they grab it over the edge. They also like fast driving and a good table. They can date a girl for a long time, prepare for marriage, but under the influence of a fleeting passion, marry another. Having fallen in love, they love thoroughly: strongly and for a long time. And their jealousy is just as passionate. A wife for Vadim is more than a wife, she is his second "I". Vadimov's wives are usually satisfied with their fate.

"Winter" - "heavy", for a long time they can not decide on the choice of profession, wife, friends. "Summer" - softer, lazier.

He will find happiness in marriage with Alexandra, Vera, Dina, Ekaterina, Lilia, Ruslana, Svetlana. Marriage with Alina, Alla, Venus, Helena, Juliet, Elena, Maya, Olga, Polina, Tamara, Yana is unlikely.

VALENTIN

It comes from the Latin word "valeo" - to be healthy. Widespread among the Slavic peoples, gained particular popularity in connection with the novel by George Sand "Valentine".

He grows up as an obedient and diligent child. As a child, he is friends with girls, protects them from offenders. He is observant and annoying. He reaches out to his grandfather, and it will be very good if he helps his grandson breed fish, as the boy is prone to contemplation and peace. As a teenager, Valentin begins to get involved in philosophy and psychology, and later he can make a good psychiatrist or psychotherapist. He is endowed with other abilities and, having the necessary strong-willed qualities, often achieves great success in various fields of activity.

Valentine is a true friend, comrades trust him with their secrets. He prefers a good book to a football match. He usually does not smoke, although he treats smoking people, including his smoking wife, indulgently. He likes to pick mushrooms, fish, just breathe fresh air in nature. But it is difficult to pull it into the mountains. And the summer cottage is also not one of his hobbies. Chess, crossword puzzles are for him. The wife's culinary skills are not of decisive importance for Valentine. He is content with a hastily prepared sandwich and a luxurious dinner, not noticing, however, that his wife expects praise from him in both the first and second cases. Do not be offended by him - this even has its own charm. So, Valentine will never quarrel because the refrigerator is empty. In a woman, she appreciates modesty, complaisance and a quiet disposition. He easily finds a common language with his wife's parents, does not refuse to help neighbors and relatives. You can't classify him as a drinker. He is not in love, remains faithful to his wife, which sometimes even serves as the subject of friends' jokes. It is better not to give Valentine a reason for jealousy.

Marriage with Angela, Valentina, Victoria, Daria, Lilia, Maria and Marina should be successful, which cannot be said about marriage with Albina, Alevtina, Antonina, Elizabeth, Nadezhda and Tamara.

VALERY

It comes from the same stem as the previous name. Restless in childhood. He studies well, although he is not diligent. Likes noisy games, hide and seek, running. Already in childhood, he is not averse to taking risks, testing himself in extreme situations. He belongs to that breed of boys that "on a dare" they can go to the forest or to the cemetery at night. Running across the street in front of a moving car is also one of the risky pastimes of such children. He likes to read books about adventures, early discovers an interest in fantasy literature. Father's favorite. He treats his mother condescendingly, listens halfheartedly to her advice and instructions, although he does not enter into disputes with her. Adult Valery is persistent, trying to acquire a specialty that would make it possible not only to provide for his family, but also to travel and see the world. Valery has a strong psyche, he does not experience any complexes in communicating with people, he easily makes new acquaintances.

He goes in for sports, prefers boxing, can be a frequent and lucky visitor to the hippodrome. He likes to mess around in the ground and therefore he will definitely try to cultivate at least a small area near his house, even if this house is high-rise. As a last resort, plant greenery on the balcony. Scrupulous in choosing a future wife. He is looking for a spiritually rich wife, appreciates household neatness and cleanliness. In his search, he does not marry for a long time. The girls they meet often break up with them without waiting for an offer. But in vain. In marriage, Valery is a convinced monogamous. Valery's attachment to his wife sometimes takes on a purely physiological character, when he is simply not able to change her, although the desire to change almost never leaves him. Some presumptuous wives, sensing this, allow themselves to be dismissive of their husband. Proud Valery may not forgive this.

Homebodies. Touchingly treat newborns. Not without pleasure go shopping at the market. Drink moderately.

Those born in winter have a more complex character than those of "summers", they are despotic and stingy. Valery Nikolaevich, Dmitrievich, Borisovich, Igorevich are especially difficult to communicate with.

Zoya, Wanda, Galina, Louise, Nadezhda, Olesya, Roxana, Yana, Svetlana, Tatiana are suitable for their wives. A happy marriage with Alevtina, Vera, Zinaida, Irina, Clara, Larisa, Margarita, Tamara is unlikely.

WALTER

The word of Germanic or English origin (Walter), literally means: to manage people.

As children, these boys are closer to adults than to classmates. They study well, go in for sports: barbell, acrobatics. But only "winter" achieve some success in sports. Bullies, like to argue, prove their own, often going from one extreme to another. Childhood is stormy, their knees are always broken. Kind, they are leaders among their peers. They are loved by friends, they will never let you down and will always stand up for the weak. Outwardly charming, sociable and always like girls.

Graduating from the institute, they almost do not work in their specialty. Among them are engineers, trainers, acrobats, mechanics, teachers, actors, dentists, welders, carpenters. Without shyness, they take on any work and do it perfectly.

They like to read historical literature, some of them compose epigrams. They get married late, they are married twice, but this applies only to the "December" ones. Indifferent to nature, fishing. "Summer" - not too talkative, more like to listen to what others say. They are vulnerable, tolerant of people. More often - fathers of daughters who are very attached to them. They should choose wives among those whose names are Muse, Olesya, Polina, Bella, Greta, Irina, Kapitolina, Xenia, Lyudmila, Anna, Diana, Stella, Elvira, Eleanor.

BASIL

It comes from an ancient Greek word meaning: royal, regal. Appeared since the time of the Persian wars and at first had the meaning of "Persian king, prince, ruler."

As a child, he loves to mess around with different hamsters and parrots, he will never kick a dog with his foot. A favorite of grandparents. Can't get through the day without peers. And this trait will remain with him throughout his life. So, he would rather go into conflict with his wife than allow a comrade to suffer. Even his work is in second place, in the first place - friends, comrades. Although he loves his work, he tries to do it in such a way that he does not pass for a bad worker, but also does not surpass his comrades. He is gallant with women, strives to be a knight, and he is very flattered when they consider him as such. He loves football, hockey, tries not to miss a single match of his favorite team, a big fan of dominoes.

A strong minus of some Vasilyevs is their love for alcohol. At work, they usually know about his addiction, but they put up with him, remembering his conscientious attitude to work and good professional qualities. With a non-drinking Vasily, a woman feels confident. He is a man of duty. Having married, he will not think about a divorce in a week on the sole basis that his wife turned out to be a bad character or she does not want to cook for him. He meekly shares the hardships of life, not complaining to anyone about his fate. Vasily's responsibility increases after the birth of a child. His affection for children in terms of the strength of his feelings can only be compared with the feeling of a mother who passionately and blindly loves her only and long-awaited child. In difficult life and family situations, he closes, becomes secretive, then signs of indecision appear in his behavior. He almost always has an excellent relationship with his father-in-law, but he is a little afraid of his mother-in-law.

Lilia, Margarita, Albina, Juliet, Olesya, Yulia, Anna, Yana will bring family happiness to Vasily. It is hardly worth hoping for mutual understanding with Lydia, Nelly, Rimma, Inna, Ekaterina, Lyubov, Elena.

VELOR, VELORII

This name is European, there is no such name in the holy calendar. Most likely, it is Scandinavian, they were called children only in wealthy families. This name is often misunderstood as an abbreviated name for the Great October Revolution.

The nature of these boys gives parents a lot of excitement: they are mobile, stubborn, persistent, usually brought up in wealthy families. They look like mothers both externally and internally. They love animals and play music.

Those who are carried away and vulnerable, choose their friends with analysis and are friends with them until they come of age.

BENJAMIN

Hebrew origin: Ben-yamin (son of the most beloved of wives). Benjamin is often talented. And since he is also stubborn in achieving the goal, it is clear that this person has all the opportunities for a high professional take-off. And it will take place. These men tend to get their way. But everything will turn out better if parents and teachers notice the boy's giftedness in time. In their youth, they are a little romantic, rarely one of them does not write poetry. At the same time, they are pragmatists, and poetry does not take them far from earthly affairs. The life of such men is not strewn with roses: they are very compliant and always ready to give up their benefits, so as not to infringe on the other. They yield not only in a dispute, but also when it comes to a higher position or a queue for an apartment, and, of course, they indulge the whims of their mother-in-law ...

A special passion of the Veniamins is collecting. He will most likely make a successful game with Anna, Vera, Natalya, but not with Ekaterina, Angela, Zinaida, Alla or Olga.

VICTOR

The name comes from the Latin word "victor" - the winner. You can teach the boy Vitya to play the violin or the piano, but you are unlikely to be able to make a little Mozart out of him.

This is a gullible boy who unconditionally believes everything that is said, but later, having learned about the deception. Extremely upset. Fortunately, these boys are not vindictive and quickly forget such incidents, again imbued with trust in people.

Adult Victor will feel great in that field of activity where there is no place for dreams and long thoughts.

They seek justice in everything and, if they witness the unseemly deeds of loved ones, they will exhort them for a long time, appealing to conscience and prudence.

These men have a lot of things that can make a marriage with them strong and happy. They are thorough, unhurried, willingly engaged in painstaking work, have great patience. If Victor is a teacher or a doctor, this does not mean at all that taps will flow in the apartment, he takes care of the material well-being of the family; not stingy. He treats his wife's command tone condescendingly, without making a problem out of it. The exception is the "winter" Victors: they have a stubborn, tough character.

Because of a sense of duty, which he understands very strictly, he can live with an unloved person for a long time. If he gets divorced and remarries, then almost all his life he is tormented by remorse.

He brings up children in strictness: he can draw up a "daily routine" for them, paint it by the hour and demand strict compliance. His pedantry often irritates the household, and children, growing up, tend to live away from their father. Alcohol can bring trouble to the family - Victor likes to drink. And if the "summer" Viktors can be quite easily cured of this addiction, then the "winter" ones are very difficult to treat.

A happy marriage awaits Victor with Angela, Agnia, Aza, Alevtina, Alina, Berta, Borislava, Valentina, Venus, Beta, Galina, Gella, Zoya, Inna, Claudia, Clara, Larisa, Lily, Lyubov, Maya, Maria, Nina, Oksana, Rimma, Roxana, Ella.

They respect strength and intelligence in people. Quite active, diplomatic, have a quick reaction.

Meaning: "Eastern" (Greek)
Anatoly is a gentle person by nature, inclined
to daydreaming, greedy for praise and even flattery,
secretive and with the closest people.
The name is saturated with light oriental splendor.

Anatoly congratulate
Happy Angel Day we want.
Why shouldn't we do
Tole in May name day?

We'll set the table, we'll say in toasts,
How we appreciate our Tolechka,
And on the day of the Angel we will prove
How we value friendship with him.

Anatoly, congratulations!
Be still loved
Dear to all and respect,
We keep our Angel!

Meaning: "winner" (lat)
Nikita is always confident in himself, knows exactly what he wants
from life, and usually achieves this. He is stubborn and
steadfast, but it is easy to injure him, affecting his self-
bee. Painfully endures any defeat. From-
tormented by resentment in heart and soul, he goes to sa-
to our close friends, to whom he allows himself
regret.

Nikita means "winner".
Capable Angel is your guardian
Lead you to victory.
Trust him on your way!

If so, victory means a lot,
You set feasible tasks -
And you will be invincible
We love and care for everyone!

We want to tell you this:
You are a joker and a merry fellow
And a good friend, kind, faithful
Why do you always have to be first?

May the Angel also rest:
Tired of pushing you forward
To appease your vulnerability
Promise new victories.

Today is your name day
We want to be with you
Not with triumphant and alien,
And with his own - so dear!

In short, there is simply no male name,
But this name means too much
And in its brevity is buried a great secret,
There are so many invisible "YaNachek" (stash) in it:
YaNachka the first: YAN is a terrible lover of life,
He loves life in all its manifestations.
He is hot-tempered, but ONE-LOVE:
All his fans in this about m - no doubt.
Jan, secondly, was born as a businessman,
He could be almost a billionaire
He could be cool like superman
Or at least a stuntman.
And thirdly, Yang is in love with his children,
Ready for any feats for their sake.
He draws strength from them, like Antei ("YANTEI"),
Stremglav runs to the first children's call.
Two letters in the name of everything, but it looks completely,
friends, not bad.
There is only one syllable in his name,
But how much power we hear in it and how much we see

From her Stepan

Today is Stepochka's holiday!
Birthday today!
Of course, in a pile
I will definitely drink with him.

I will come to him dressed up,
Like a birthday girl.
I will sit next to him,
And he will move towards me.

I said before
All wishes to him.
The answer was very strange:
“You are all my desires.
And there are no other desires.

CONGRATULATION
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
SEED

Semyon is strong in stories.
Strong! But I'll be a bastard
One story, Semyon,
I won't ever forget!

How are you on a box of cognac
I argued once in a tavern:
Smaller in this world!>
Because you always are!
For the box won!
For real men!
For real women!

ANATOLY

I will save Tolya
From hurt and pain.
I know the conspiracy
I conjure them:

For everything to happen
Just like you dreamed
For everything to fit
For everything to work out

Nothing would beat
And it didn't break
And just a little more -
To love all my life.

Well, to me from Tolya
Do not need anything -
Only for a long time
Be nearby.

From her Fedor

My Fedya is under the spell of dark forces.
But I have a response move:
I will become the most evil witch
To make my Fedya happy
So that he doesn't love me.

I will conjure, I will prophesy
I will send and smooth, and cold, and darkness
So that they will squirm from damage
All the women that call him.
Weld from feathers and roots
Infusion for love potions,
And I will have them all year round
Pour Fede into beer and compote.

And the infection will leave him -
He is cured of the evil eye.
Just look at me crazy
Hearing the phone buzzer. -

Then he wanders into the kitchen
Where there is both beer and compote.
And henceforth I wish him
Always love me alone.

Congratulate you, Pavel, glad
And with admiration we say:
Meeting with you is like a reward,
We all adore you.
Don't bow down to sadness
And do not be sad in the silence of the night.
Happy birthday, congratulations
We wish you happiness from the bottom of our hearts!

CONGRATULATION
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
ARSENY

If the day is clear, spring,
Smiling Arseny:

A beautiful autumn day
Arseny is surprised:

Let him be lucky, otherwise
We don't see any luck either.
And in the heat and in the cold -
Good luck gentlemen!
Smile brighter, Arseny
You are a genius in this area!

PLATO (gr.) -
broad-shouldered

Be, Plato, always broad-shouldered
and a pure soul,
to lean on your shoulder
if something is wrong,
and do not miss fate
in dry winds and in snowfall.
Even if it's heartless
Fortune will beat us
seeing such shoulders, -
at the same moment will reduce the agility.

CONGRATULATION
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
OLEG

Oleg confessed to me
I sip from the cup:
Ready to understand yourself!>

He took a glass of wine
Sat down with beauty
And drank with her to the bottom,
And sang a song with her.

I beg you, Oleg,
You drink that motive.
And every person
Let it go crazy with you!!!

You were watching the moon
Mysterious, in pitch darkness,
When the silvery light is thick
Does everything change shape?
That's it. And God's man,
Our glorious Alexey:
Is he mysterious to everyone?
That is not his sweeter!
Among beautiful young ladies
gallant enthusiastic,
He will hang noodles for you like that,
Pretending to be in love
What will become "the most expensive,
And smart, and scientists,
And he will be loved by all
Refined handsome!

From her Jacob

I have a lot of Jacobs
They wear patent leather shoes,
With overseas drinks
With the manners of Moscow.
They break into my apartment -
They wish to get acquainted.

Although I love Jacob,
But Jacob is not everyone.
But only such Jacob,
With whom I think alike.

He does not puff up from wealth,
But he works honestly.
And it's easy for me to breathe with him,
And I love it sweetly.

Let the holiday with dear Yasha
Our destinies will cross.

GRIGORY

Villages sleep and cities sleep.
The gods doze, the people sniffle.
But Gregory never sleeps -
The ancient Greeks say so.

He does not climb the Internet -
His night sky will captivate.
Like the only light on the planet
In the dark, his dim nightlight.

Looking at the canopy of heaven at night,
He is a luminary studying flight,
And so Grisha knows
Everything that will happen in the future.

What will happen to anyone and everyone
He checked the stars, but you
Never tells anything
In this Grisha swore to the gods.

The birthday boy, of course, knows
What will happen to him, because
He accepts with a smile in his soul
Our wishes to him.

CONGRATULATION
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
lion

Crazy from this life
I will take my breath away.
And in the phone book, Leo,
I will find your number.

I will say: But do not change your temper;
There is no luck without a good fight!> .-
And I'll be right again.

You in the night light from the stars!
You take them hot! ..
Leo, I raise this toast
For your heavenly gift!!!

TIMOTHEY, TIMOSHA, TIM
(Epigram toast)

Happy men-TIMOTHEIA!
Their wives are kind, like fairies.
If we add a FAIRY to TIM,
We will get as a result - TIMOTHEIA!
This means that Timoshina is a wife
Give or take - she is a magician.
He loves her and cherishes her,
And she, like a Fairy, knows how to do everything,
And they also have a good son.
Both the fairy and Timosha are happy.
Here is such an alliance with TIMOTHEY:
He is a Wizard and next to him is a Fairy.
And no matter what her name is -
They live great together!
And since he loves "Fairy" TIM,
They always have excellent intimacy.
So I have the right to say:
"LIFE IS WONDERFUL NOW with TIMOTHEY!"
THE NAME IS COMMON TO THEM, FRIENDS, NOT FOR SURE:
SO, LET'S DRINK TOGETHER WE
FOR THIS COUPLE!

IGOR
(Toast epigram)
(Almost idyllic)

What's in your name - it's time to say:
GAMBLING house and you are a gambler.
NEEDLE and EEL, GAMES and MOUNTAIN.
Love and women. Champagne and cards.
But you are different with us, you "faded away" a long time ago.
Playing dominoes with your neighbor friend.
That women, that vodka - all the same.,
And, if you rattle, then with a spoon at dinner.
But this, IGOR, also has a reason:
You - calmed down and your house became a paradise.
For a long time you do not start up in acceleration
We drink quietly with you.

Meaning: "Protected by God"
(ancient Greek)
Gleb is characterized by solidity and benevolence.
ness, strength of character, firmness, thriftiness.
All this is enhanced by a clear association of the name
with bread, without which, as you know, there is no life.
In men, Gleb himself respects courage and the ability to weight.
keep yourself worthy, even if there is an opponent in front of him.
And he does not sympathize with hard women, not without reason.
vanii believing that nature for a woman determines
la femininity and softness. Doesn't like it when people
give empty promises, and he tries not to quit
words to the wind. And in general, it’s better not to communicate with Gleb
in words, but in deeds - he believes them more.

We want to congratulate Gleb
Happy Orthodox Name Day!
Gleb himself is protected by God!
He is strong and strong in spirit.

Friendly with people
Responsible for your deeds
Reliable and smart in everything,
He will not throw words into the wind.

How can we not live life without bread,
So we can't live without Gleb!
And we are pleased to congratulate -
We can respect him!

Let's raise our glasses and drink to the bottom -
After all, life is given to everyone for fun.
On your birthday, you are glad to say
That life gave us you as a reward!
Today, relatives wish with love
You have a lot of happiness, good luck and health
And they believe that an angel protects you
And the risk from you, our Vadim, will take away!

ALEXEI
25 February; 30th of March; May 7; 2 June;
October 18; December 6
Meaning: "God's man" (Staroslav),

"preserving" (ancient Greek)
Let the name not call its owner to leadership,
it still reliably shelters a person from all kinds of
troubles. A big role in the fate of Alexei
upbringing and the environment in which he grows up play
etc. Aleksey's poise makes him wonderful
listener and adviser. He is capable of
happy and ready to help in any way possible. Alek-
this one is not very talkative, his principle is less
words, more deeds. It's just not worth trying, what on-
called to put pressure on him.

Alexey - protecting forever.
And yet the meaning is God's man.
On the day of the Angel, we want to congratulate him!
Not only called to protect -
he himself keeps.

An angel named after Alyosha portends:
Be wise, be strong. Angel knows
In what does Alyosha need to show his will,
To maintain your authority.

Does an angel really help?
Alexei always acts wisely.
He will help you, share, tell you,
Neither advice nor support will be denied.

Alexei as a friend is indispensable to anyone.
As a man, we need and love him.
Be happy, Lesha, Lord
we store
The best we know
men!

Daniel, Daniel
Where do you get so much power?
Burning at work
You sit on the football
And family and friends...
What is your secret?
Daniel was silent
And Daniel said,

Bogatyrsky full of strength:
"And with lions in the den,
So be it, I'll live
Because I didn’t drink, I didn’t smoke!”

From her Edward

The holiday is over for Edward.
I will not hide that I am glad about it.
Look at me Edward
And turn on the cassette player.
Let until dawn
We sing about love
An unknown singer.

Look at me Edward
And wipe the fatigue from your face
And until dawn
We will sing about love
Baritone of a young singer.

And now at night we are with you
We will always listen to music.
And the singer is young
Soon to be a star
After all, he knows what to sing and when.

Another will always come out sideways
Any ill-advised move.
But Gleb, "protected by God,"
Confidently looks forward.

Losses don't bother him.
Rather the opposite:

In the place where the ruble will lose,
He will certainly find a buck.

But Gleb will not stay with him for long,
The currency will drop at the moment.
But where he sows a dollar,
Find a lottery ticket.

And here Gleb checks it,
And the prize is a car!
We know it doesn't happen
But our Gleb deserved it.

From her Cyril

Cyril has a birthday
Well, I'm not in the mood.
Why are you, Kiryusha,
Our union with you destroyed?
You don't come, you don't call
Do you speak kind words?
I'll look at Cyril -
I'll tell him everything with a glance.

“Ah, Kiryusha, you, Kiryusha!
Wish listen:
A simple wish
Throw an idle business."

And my eyes will pass him
And Kirill will understand everything,
Will take me by the hand
And get married.

Here's how it ends -
If I feel like it!

RUSLAN
(Epigram toast)

Of course, the word is heard in RUSLAN: Rus'!
But that's not why I'm proud of RUSLAN.
On his own, he is an excellent man.
He is not afraid of the transitional dusk.
Our RUSLAN was not lost, not confused,
And he tried to find a place in life.

Tall, slender, golden-haired,
Determined, resourceful and wise.
Lyudmila, Uncle Chernomor and the Sea-ocean - Today, all the fashionable.
He conquered all the beauties
His gallantry.

Always sociable and nice.
And fresh as a young lord.
Our new outfit KIRILL
Always extremely proud.

You were loved. And he loved it.
Not once, not two, not three.
And you had it, KIRILL
"KIRILLITS" - a dime a dozen.

But the years are ticking by. gray hair
Turns white at the temples.
And here is "CYRILLIC" one
Remained in hand.

Let youth not return back ...
Not all have succeeded.
For YOU TWO, for KIRILLYAT
Our very first toast!

SERGEY, SEREZHA
(Toast epigram)

SEREZHA is HEART and HEART,
Not at all SEREDnyak Sergey in a love affair.
And, if he does not have heart victories,
He is ANGRY for a week.
But there are plenty of compassionate girls.
They, like a serpentine, curl around SEREZHA.
And, sooner or later, anyway
They surrender themselves with delight.
Two EARRINGS are not enough for them (in the ears!)
And we are ready to fight for our SEREZHA,
And many have long wanted in dreams
Pinned to Serezha's heart.
Raise glasses TOAST calls us all
In honor of our SEREZHA-heartthrob!
And let SERGEY "get it" as soon as possible
Last and marriage victory!

GEORGE
VICTORIOUS -

You! T and to and m that was born!
This name was given from birth.
Determined, assertive and smart.
And brave, of course! There is no doubt about it.

At your name of Victory, thunder is heard.
You can overcome any obstacle.
Although he was not awarded the George Cross.
But your name is inscribed in the award!

Noting your strength and luck, and become,
We wish you to continue to win and life

Enjoy,
But at the same time, I would like to wish you...
DON'T GET TOGETHER IN VICTORIES!

GRIGORY (lat.) -
awake, sleepless

You are always awake, Gregory,
and therefore to your family
afraid of approaching grief,
wandering around somewhere.
Live, Gregory, without meeting
obstacles in all your affairs
and every holiday celebrating
all with the same cheerfulness in their eyes.

Epigram-laughter

Though my pen rewards
Praise to only one Maro,
You, brother, don't complain about me:
I would be happy to praise you
But you yourself are a hundred times better
You cope with this task.
( Mellin de Saint Jelly. To some poet )

***
No place for those at the meal who are full,
To those at the ball who cries and mourns,
To those in the war who hold themselves cowardly,
To those at court who speak truthfully.
( Guy du Fort de Pibrac. quatrain)

***

"When is a love game appropriate?" —
The beauty asked the doctor.
To this the doctor answered clearly:
"Pleasant in the evening, healthier in the morning."
The beauty said: “Her, in the end, I
I can with my beloved in silence
Have a night out for the soul
And again in the morning - for health
(Jean Vauquelin de la Frenay)

In Russia, the real flowering of the epigram began only with A.S. Pushkin, who turned it into a living sketch. For Karamzin, Zhukovsky, and even Tyutchev, it was rather an artificially constructed rhyme without that zest, more precisely, without the spice that makes the epigram real.

Pushkin's epigram is a small masterpiece, easy to remember, capturing the very essence of a phenomenon, event or person. The epigrams of Alexander Sergeevich were good because they did not require printing and were passed from mouth to mouth, which made them, due to the ease of memorization, a cruel weapon. Who does not know a clear, like a formula, epigrams on Count Vorontsov.


Half my lord, half merchant
Half wise, half ignorant,
Semi-scoundrel, but there is hope
What will be complete at last.

Or on Arakcheev:

The oppressor of all Russia,
Governors tormentor
And he is a teacher of the Council,
And he is a friend and brother to the king.
Full of malice, full of revenge
Without mind, without feelings, without honor,
Who is he? A devotee without flattery
Fucking penny soldier.

Pushkin even wanted to publish a collection of his epigrams, for which he wrote a kind of preface:

O muse of fiery satire!
Come to my call!
I do not need a thundering lyre,
Give me the Juvenal scourge!
…………………………….

Peace be upon you, unfortunate poets,
Peace to you, magazine slanderers,
Peace be upon you, you humble fools!
And you guys are scoundrels -
Forward! All your bastard will
I torture the penalty of shame!
But if I forget someone
Please, gentlemen!
Oh, how many shamelessly pale faces,
Oh, how many foreheads of wide copper
Ready to accept from me
An indelible seal!

A real and good epigram is not so much a kind laughter, although there are some as a weapon against vulgarity, mediocrity, stupidity and political obscurantism. Epigrams are especially effective where there are communities in which an epigram is born and spreads at lightning speed, sometimes without even an author.

In Soviet times, the epigram was one of the most popular genres, not least because it did not require censorship. Epigrams were passed from mouth to mouth, like an anecdote, like folklore, mockingly ridiculing what was impossible to say openly. And the presence of various Unions (filmmakers, writers, artists, composers, etc.) contributed to their instant spread.

The well-known Russian philologist, Doctor of Science, member of the Union of Soviet Writers, dissident Efim Etkind, expelled from the country for political reasons (he defended Brodsky at trial, then spoke in defense of Solzhenitsyn and Sakharov) collected 323 epigrams that circulated in the twenties and up to the sixties. Here are some epigrams from this collection.


Yefim Etkind

I think of the state as a statue,
A man in bronze is a symbol of authority;
Hidden under a fig leaf
Huge security agency.

****

I look at the world from under the table:
The twentieth century, an extraordinary century!
What is more interesting for a historian,
So much sadder for a contemporary. (Nikolai Glazkov))

***

Turtle
What is your shell made of, turtle?
I asked and got the answer:
From the fear I've experienced
And there is no more reliable armor in the world.
Lev Khalif

***

We are all Jews
Sometime and somehow
So circumcision, thank God,
It's easy for us to shine.
Argo

***


A wave splashes on the shore
And people are sour from the heat ...
How much shit floats
Literally and figuratively!
K. Simonov

***

Marshak once said so,
As one Marshak could say:
— I am a translator in Rus'
And I value this
But I, unlike a taxi,
I don't transfer everyone.
Ya. Kozlovsky

****

B. Pilnyak
Even if you're not young anymore
But you will not forget the main goal:
What are you waiting for, Boris Pilnyak?
Fight, Pilnyak, you will be Maxim!
1928

On S.Ya. Marshak
Leaving for the station
He kissed Chukovsky,
And when I arrived at the station,
"What a bastard!" He said...
Here's how scattered
From Basseinaya Street!
S. Lipkin 30s

***

To Evgeny Yevtushenko
I am Eugene, you are Eugene
I'm not a genius, you're not a genius.
I'm shit and you're shit
You are new, I am a long time ago.
On behalf of Evg. Dolmatovsky

***

To Olga Bergholz
Olya, Olechka, lu-lu,
Filled with fun.
Virgin with a hangover
Or an angel in hops?
M. Dudin

***

A. Fadeev

On A. Fadeev
When do we see the general?
When he drinks a mineral.
When will he drink natural,
Then we do not see the general.
3. Paperny

****

On K.Simonov
He still
As you can see, you want
be known as a liberal
Among the Black Hundreds.
1956

****

On Sun. Kochetova
Literary uncle lives in Moscow,
I won't name him.
I will say one thing: there was a holiday in Leningrad,
When he was transferred to Moscow. 1955

***

On Sergei Mikhalkov
What he lacked
He immediately delivered
The most important got
I got it from Moscow.
Lev Nikulin

***

On V. Pikul
Dear Comrade Pikul,
You are a great original
You got drunk on the Jews.
And pissed off Russia.

***

On emigrant topics
Everyone moved away a long time ago
Even Ernst's window is dark.
Only Yura Vasiliev and Borya Messerer
that's who was still in Es Es Es Er.
Bulat Okudzhava 1980

Although I can not compete with Pushkin

(I'm even afraid to get close to him!),

But on you, my Vent,

I have been praying for so many years.

As with faith in God in a novice

I remain with this feeling.

And unlike ALINA, Pushkin

I will not be deceived in my love!

I know that love is not worth it

But do not calm the fire in the chest.

ALINA! Dominate me:

You are the mistress, I am the slave of Love!

ANGELINA

In ANGELSKI - kind, gentle, hardworking.

In ANGELSKY - faithful, modest and patient.

You are an ANGEL in the flesh, an earthly ANGELINA.

And the one with whom you are next to is the happiest man!

ANTONINA

Once upon a time there lived ANTON with his wife NINA.

And as a result, the daughter ANTONINA appeared.

And so, believe it or not,

There are no happier women in the world.

She wanted to find ANTON-husband

And at the age of 20 (with difficulty), but found.

And after the wedding, in accordance with the law,

Happily combined Tonechka with Anton.

We bought a cottage, and then a car.

Then they created a daughter - also ANTONINA.

And after the daughter to their cozy home

The son also came. Of course - ANTON!

What ANTONINA dreamed about - she has everything:

Beautiful, cheerful and not sick.

And, you know, what is the reason for Antonina's happiness?

TWO RELATIVE NAMES MERGED IN HER ONE!

We have no doubts now.

ANTONOV will be many generations.

"Chicken" is not a bird. The hat is not "Budenovka".

This is not a family, but an apple tree - "ANTONOVKA!"

ANFISA

SHE: both simple-minded and smart.

And good: full face and profile.

And "ANFILADA" - her years - is calm and even.

And there is no coquetry and guile in it - not a crumb!

And she does not need a General-ANshef,

And a rich businessman is not needed.

Her husband, both in life and according to the horoscope, is Leo!

She is delighted with such a husband!

ARIADNE

When it's cold, it's always warm to sleep with her.

When the heat, on the contrary, is fresh and so cool,

Wherever the impassability suddenly skidded,

A guiding thread will be given by ARIADNA!

I am not Theseus, my father is not Aegeus.

But life is like a maze. And that's why it's gratifying

That every evening at home at the door

ARIADNA will meet me with love!

ARINA

Aryan blood in you was not and is not.

You are only an aristocrat in spirit, ARINA!

But a name as poetic as a morning sonnet

Reminiscent of the sounds of the Harp and the fruits of Rowan.

BRONISLAVA

How rarely do you see a name: BRONISLAVA!

Calculation - her ARMOR, reliability - GLORY!

She is always incredibly even.

Not a fashionista. But the appearance is understandable.

(Dressed modestly, but always neat!)

BRONISLAVA has a thin, tenacious mind:

She won't say anything randomly.

She is practical. Extremely economical

But, nevertheless, lives quite modestly.

Therefore, BRONI has capital!

(More than once I myself borrowed money!)

"And how is the husband?!" - ask me a question.

I will answer: HUSBAND, LIKE A BATTLESHIP!

FAITH

You are probably the most talented of all!

You are the TOP of grace and fidelity of deep feelings.

And I'm sure you will succeed

Upon reaching the peaks - cherished and high.

VARYA, VARVARA

Beloved VARVARU VARYUSHA will tie his hands

And how to behave in front of a woman will tell.

By his kindness, he will forgive his sins.

A decoction prepared for itself will bewitch.

VARYA (addition)

What do you hear, VARYA, in your name:

Scream of BARBARA? Or the deliciousness of JAM?

How many OPTIONS can be heard in it -

There are a lot of VARIATIONS here, no doubt about it.

You've been friends with VARezka for many years

And from childhood you did not know VARnak.

In a home variety show, I composed a verse

About how you ate jam.

You will boil in your own juice,

Varangian will not become, Varya, your husband

(I can give a lot of OPTIONS

On the topic that you don’t need Varya at all.)

You are free in Russian variations.

And in the Russian style you will ruin your life.

We hope you are smart

And cook delicious "porridge" from your life.

Let foreigners call Barbara.

In response, you smile softly,

Let there be beauty in Barbie, but not comfort.

And you are comfortably called VARENKA!

VALERIA

You are for me: either the descent of life, or the rise of my feelings.

Either the sweetness of silence, or the bitterness of a squabble.

And often I hear in your name:

Paul VALERIE and drops of VALERIAN!

VALENTINA

You are a warm "VALenok" and the ninth SHAFT of the sea.

Now - smooth - Waltz, then - exuberant rock and roll.

But, if the heart of friends suddenly ache from grief,

Then you, VALUSHA, are the best "VALidol".

VALI

I've always been considered a "bump"

There are many reasons for this.

Spent all the time with Vali and then,

When exhausted from all other dates.

I often dreamed of falling for her,

To clear all your blockages.

Again I speak about my feelings without melting:

VALUSHA is the best of the halts!

You are to me like a Mason's lodge.

Like a ship - a reliable port and dock.

Like the finish of a long-awaited marathon,

You are like a zavalinka and a warm light!

GALINA

You are like a clearing in an abandoned forest,

You are like a thawed patch in a snowy desert.

Your image in memory tirelessly carry.

You are my salvation from now on.

I hear in your name - unknown distances

And something new, but what - I do not understand.

Let's go with you, GALYA, to Kostroma:

They say there is such a city - Galin!

GALINA

You are Pebbles on the Cote d'Azur

With a romantic Galera on land.

I can't see the galaxy in your eyes

And I can’t help but feel ... the wonderful taste of Dumplings in my mouth.

GELENA, GEL

(Light as helium and gentle as gel)

GELENA is not Elena, she is just GELE.

She is more carefree than other girls.

But she has "seven Fridays in the week"

Even including a couple of days off.

Otherwise, GELENA is perfect.

Good, like a fairy, affectionate, like a breeze.

The art of cooking is also super-commendable:

Pelmeni blinds - everyone shouts to her: "Bis!"

The character of GELI is easy for me to describe:

She does not hold optimism from others.

Dislikes complaining, crying and moaning

Friends are always ready to help.

It is soft and fragrant, like a gel.

It is light, like helium on the rise.

But, fortunately, the house is also dear to GELE.

And in the family all relatives smile sweetly,

When GELA lands at home.

But there will be a day, another and again "to the clouds."

I like GEL very much. How about you?

EVE

Divine VIRGO, you are like a Queen!

The Gospels have written about you for a long time.

But still, wherever you look: right or left -

Adam is more regal than EVE anyway!

EVGENIA

Whenever you marry a genius

Happier than now, you wouldn't be EUGENIA!

Your husband may not be a Genius,

But you are the happiest of all Eugene:

BECAUSE THERE IS AN OPINION IN RUSSIA:

NON-DRINKING HUSBAND - MORE RELIABLE GENIUS!

INGA

INGA! What is the name! Ringing like a gong!

But only with a gentle bell overflow.

It sounds like a simple old "zong"

In a beautiful guitar frame.

INGA

(Love-healing epigram)

When the patient is lying down with a temperature

And in the throat - lump. And I'm not me anymore

I do not need - compresses, procedures!

You are my magic inhalation!!

EUGENE AND EUGENE

What happiness and luck!

EUGENE - you! She is EUGENE!

You have a mutual attraction

You have a mutual burning!

You have everything together: light and shadows,

Since you are under the sign of "WOMAN".

And this sign promises you and Zhenya

Happy life elongation.

YOU DO NOT NEED "Ginseng" FOR THIS!

YOU HAVE ELIXIR - "ZHEN-ZHEN"!

INNA

Fig sweet taste and pungent smell of cumin

I hear when I whisper: "INNA ..."!

And in this name of the well DEEP

And clouded consciousness from WINE ...

You are never KARTINNA.

Natural, trusting, smart.

Being with you is happiness, INNA.

With you, life is like eternal spring.

INNA

Your "Inauguration" took place in the maternity hospital,

Then dissent was revealed, not melting.

And maybe that's why I broke up with a foreigner,

That "Inokhod" is not your gait.

INNA

All friends know about this for a long time:

She has been given a lot of talent by nature.

She is a dressmaker, cook and builder,

She is a designer, educator and teacher.

She was a pioneer in her profession,

And INNA's husband was not ... "pacer".

But here is what INNA did not expect from herself:

Now she wants to switch to "INOKHOD" herself!

IRA

You are witty as a rapier

And musical, like a LYRA.

I won't lie when I say that the IRA -

One of the best women in the world!

In love, she always leads.

And this leadership of men is traumatic.

Missing man if IRA

Give ... make yourself an idol!

IRINA

IRINA - like Iranian lilac.

IRINA - Iris and Iris at the same time.

That is the real passion of chiaroscuro,

Either ironic or good alternately.

She is like the sparkle of Iridium in the night.

And, like the Irish Setter - affectionate, playful.

SHE - irradiation magic rays,

And "Irrigation" souls are spring waterings.

IRA and INNA

Spring passed through the countries of the WORLD,

In the colors of Love byra apartment ...

I did not create an idol for myself

And suddenly my lyre fell silent!

Although sadness was not unreasonable,

Though it was not deep.

Sadness was just a little picture

And at that hour INNA appeared!

Luckily, he wasn't shy.
He was young and smart, and handsome beyond measure.
He knew languages ​​and adored women ...
But the one who does not honor us cannot be an example.

***
You are not a womanizer, you are a woman's man!
Everything in moderation: a blasphemer and a fashionista,
Slightly oblique condescending look,
Ease of gestures and words flying,
And on the forehead - a trace of eternal work
(mixed with the rest of a yawn)
“Where would you find a stupid detachment of girls!?”

She is not a woman, but simply a phenomenon.
Men surrender to her in March.
She can line them up
And make a soldier's song sing.
