   Hi, All!   
      
   I am not sure I know the correct word. In Russia we use the word "a male   
   goat" as an idiomatic sleng word meaning absence of respect, or when you   
   have a resentment to somebody. Does the following story sound funny in   
   English and can it be improved?   
      
   Three men from the USA delegation came to Russia and went to a big plant   
   to sign a contract. The director sees them into his cabinet and says to   
   his secretary girl, "Well dear -- one glass of cognac for me and three   
   tea for these goats." One man from the delegation says, "two tea,   
   please, I am a translator."   
      
   Bye, All!
