In English we used to use the word "Scotch", like Scottish. We still use it to refer to scotch tape - cheap tape.

    And the phonetic transcription of that is how we still call that in Russian.

    Well, with "Chinese" in Russian it didn't stick. I'm somewhat sad, I think certain political conditions also make the Russian language poorer and weaker with time. In 00s I, despite being autistic, could somewhat "feel the wave" of the people around me. Now it just ... feels as if someone tracks and tries to slowly kill all the good things, as if just being in control is not enough for those people.
