Good question. It’s a combination of words that doesn’t make sense to translate directly (unless ‘fashion whim’ sounds naturally English, which I doubt). I guess I would just stick with ‘the new fad’ or something similar - I wish I was better versed in the language (either, to be fair).
I know it doesn’t need to be a straight translation, but ‘hóbort’ is closer to something like ‘whim’ or ‘fad’ in meaning.

1·9 days agoIndeed. However, they’ve been pumping public money out of the country via money front institutions for quite a while: the ex leader of the National Bank embezzled 650 billion Forints, which is about a metric shitton even in such an inflated currency (update: just a little shy of 1.8 million EUR). They were seen moving their stuff in literal shipping containers to Dubai. I haven’t a single doubt that all that will be used to fund their return with whoever playing as Orbán’s hand puppet.

2·9 days agoAnd it isn’t even a crazily rare surname! We also have plenty of these:
-
Tóth, which used to mean Slavic, Slovakian or Slovenian (today: ‘tót’)
-
Horváth, which means Croatian (today: ‘horvát’);
-
Németh, which means German (today: ‘német’)
-
Szerb, which means Serbian; Rác, which used to mean Serbian
-
Bolgár, which means Bulgarian
-
Lengyel, which means Polish
There might be more, but these 6 came from the top of my head.
UPDATE:
-
Török, which means Turkish
-
Cseh, which means Czech

I have never heard of that before (I was born way after that, though). I wonder how such niche things get to lemmy users sometimes.
Wow, this looks like it’s from around the '70s! I wonder what magazine/newspaper it was featured in.
:D egy kedves ismerősömet juttatja eszembe, akinek huszonévesen esett le, hogy a tökmag attól tökmag, hogy a töknek a magja.
: ) I swear it doesn’t sound the same in original : ).
In my language it means “meat taking” or “taking of the meat”.
