Subject: derogatory gen.
my insight tells the verb stemmed from this adjective is scarcely applicable
rather unusual, isn't it ?

What do you mean by 'scarcely applicable'? Applicable to what?

archimedis: I imagine it means: 'I was going to ask that, too, but you [John] asked it first'. But, more importantly, what do you mean by "the verb stemmed from this adjective is scarcely applicable"? Please explain in either Russian or English.

надо понимать так. что если Ваш английский непонятен носителю этого языка, то это его проблемы?))

John, almost :)

you see, many of us, mere mortals, have previously asked this asker questions that were almost, if not entirely, like yours at 15.02.2016 23:31. and his response would almost always be along the lines of 16.02.2016 19:58. (which was not necessarily an unhappy ending; really, the asker would reassure himself of his superior lingual abilities, while everyone else would be relieved that there is nothing to be done here. life rarely gets much better than this.)

still, after a while even a happy thing tends to get old, which is why i was excited to see you, a native speaker, come up with your question. my hope was that you would exemplify perfectly the target audience for someone speaking impeccable english, and upon failing to be understood by someone like you the said speaker might look critically at his verbiage. well, i guess he won't or maybe you don't.

my next hope is that you do not get too discouraged by the experience ;)

wow2: Ha ha ha! x10. You've made my day!

archimedis: I've no idea what your last comment meant, nor what your original question was supposed to mean, nor why you posted it. I'm sure the others will be delighted to help you, though(!) Goodbye.
PS: Do you need an ambulance...?
