“There is no funeral slang as such. There is vulgar dissecting jargon. There, a motorcyclist who arrives is mockingly called an “astronaut”, someone who has fallen from a height is called a “paratrooper”, an “acrobat” or an “icar”, a drowned person is called a “diver”, “ichthyander”, “mumu”, and someone who died in an accident is called a “skittle”. Perhaps in some cemetery a temporary grave sign will be called a “shovel”, a wreath will be called a “bush”, and a digger will be called a “mole”. This novel is the story of the Mole” (Mikhail Elizarov).
