When in language training prior to coming, I asked one of my teacher what the Russian word for ‘happiness’ was. She darkly chuckled and told me not to bother, they’re only allowed to use it 3 or 4 times per year. She was joking, but I’ve lived here 2 and 1/2 and have never once used it. So much like the magical fish twist, the joke was a twist that 3 to 4 times was WAY too much…
