Selection from Everyday Russian Phrases for Ballerinas:

идиот! = idiot!
дурак! = fool!
Ёб твою мать = ....your mother
Береги́сь палка = Watch out for the stick
спасибо = thank you
Здорово повеселились! Давайте ещё как-нибудь повторим = That was fun! Let's do it again.

--K gives us insight into the more vulgar aspect of the Russian Method. Fear, loathing, and a big stick generate perfection-- or at the very least, hyper-alertness.
