| call me pot if you like it, but don't put me in the stove | хоть горшком назови, только в печку не ставь (=Russian epigram (kind of adage).

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) |
