call me pot if you like it, but don't put me in the stoveхоть горшком назови, только в печку не ставь (=Russian epigram (kind of adage). Meaning: words don't matter, the way something/someone is actually treated does. Also can be translated with other personal pronouns (as there is not an express "me" in the original): 'Call it pot if you want to, but don't put it in the stove." Phyloneer)
