Subject: prolotie kuck funnera nutt Parisem gen.

Please, help. Does it have anything to do with Paris?

it's an expression meaning that you will not get what you want. Literally: like a board flying over Paris.

Hi Txalla
thanks so much indeed. Sounds weird, though! Not getting what you want just because it's not really feasible or for some other reason like being turned down or whatever?
Is 'board' a kind of offensive term?
It's going to take me an awful lot to get to understand Russian properly!

it's not offensive but (somewhat) sarcastic

You did miss it!
It slipped through your fingers! (depends on the context)

There's no offence meant or intended. It's one of those weird phrases ...

like
it's a fat/dog's/cat's/snowball's chance in hell for you to get this item, [because you missed it bidding either too late or too low]

See any dogs or cats? same with Paris and cardboard. :-)
