in Ukraine we call ‘bavovna’ (‘cotton’ in English) when there is an explosion somewhere in russia. russian media tries to use some kind of [euphemisms] and in some way hide or escape the fact that there was an explosion in russia. when such thing happens, they call it ‘chlopok’ (the 2nd syllable is stressed) which means like ‘pop’, ‘clap’, ‘crack’, ‘bang’. here goes [the funniest] thing — the same word, ‘chlopok’, but when the 1st syllable is stressed, means ‘cotton’ in English and ‘bavovna’ in Ukrainian. so yep, we can call it some kind of [linguistic] joke. firstly it was used after 24th of February when russia invaded Ukraine.
