had a funny conversation with a Russian speaking person last night while talking about music

"I am a dj because like milkman"

πŸ‘†"milkman?"

"yes, yes, I am milkman"

πŸ‘†"you are milkman?"

"maybe I am using wrong word, (checks on phone) oh its music lover"

πŸ‘†"the russian word for music lover is 'milkman'!?"

"yes (starts laughing uncontrollably) milkman, but its not russian word originally, its italian"

πŸ‘†"wait so in russian you use the italian work 'milkman' to call people who love music?"

"yes (looks up etymology on phone) its from latin 'mello-mania' but we pronounce it melman"
