Perhaps “Babochka” (Russian for butterfly) or “Firebird” after Stravinsky’s music score.

I have always fancied the idea of

"Miss Everything"

if the opportunity ever arises......

The trouble with 'Yakety Yak' is that the next line of the song, I think, is "don't come back".....

Hardly fitting for an aeroplane, as it sounds rather terminal.....

Literally translated "Little Rabbit" but used as a term of endearment for the ladies!

Hi big.al

The lyrics actually say "Don't talk back" - appropriate if non-radio

I remember John Blake did a series of Yak characatures on the Yak theme; I don't remember if was in the Tiger Club newsletter or Pilot magazine.

So, how about a naval paint scheme and call it Jolly Yak Tar?

'Cuchka derganaya' = Crazy bitch..

One of the more polite Russian expressions I found on the Internet!

How about "Muy Zhaanam" ? ie; My darling.

Or alternatively the word that every Russian speaking woman loves to hear.... Sookar. Roughly translated to Bitch, cow etc etc but much, much worse.........

"Graham" - because its greyanyellow

"Custard" - because its yellow and when she didn't start, you 'cussed hard' at her.
