Thanks for replying!
I see your point and you're right. The thing is that I want to read the book also. So far the fact that he use made-up russian/english slang is not really that challenging for me except that I need to research a little bit here and there to understand the words. Just need to get the context out of it, really.
When he says "burbling a good crack on the ear" does he mean like since you speak nonsense then 'nonsense this' and he hit him? Because burbling a physical hit from my understanding, it doesn't add up together.
Thanks for the help! Really appreciate it.
