Mornings may never be stress-free times of zen-like bliss, but at least you can carve out a minute or two to enjoy your coffee before the day really gets going.




What are some commonly used Russian expressions for "carve out (time)"? I might say the following in conversation:




выкроить минутку-другую на чашечку кофе

Right. You can definitely use the phrase "выкроить время/минутку-другую/часок-другой для чего-то/на что-то".



Alternatively, you may use "найти время", "урвать минутку/часок":




Мне нужно научиться находить время для себя.



Я урвала часок для чтения, и это помогло мне отвлечься.



Я даже не могу выкроить время для звонка подруге!




Note that "урвать" and "выкроить" make the whole sentence more emotional. They emphasize how time-poor the speaker/writer is. While "находить время" is not that emotional and emphatic. It's just for stating the fact.

            One-line joke

            A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
