How do I know that you're not just making that up so that I'll make a fool of myself at a grammar convention someday? For years when I was a little kid, my dad told me that a necklace was called a vulva.

An ellipsis? We always called that "three dots in a sentence"

Russian reversal is a type of joke which frequently appears in many online communities, particularly, on Slashdot, Digg, LUE and its spinoffs, and Uncyclopedia. The general form of the Soviet Russia joke is that the subject and objects of a statement are reversed, and “In Soviet Russia,” or something equivalent, is added. For example:

In the US, you can catch a cold.
In Soviet Russia, cold catches you!
or

In the US, you can always find a party.
In Soviet Russia, Party finds you!
Many times, the opening line is cut. For example:

In Soviet Russia, Sock wears you!
instead of:

In the US, your wear a sock.
In Soviet Russia, sock wears you!
