Origin:

🔻This expression is relatively new. It appeared in 1980-s from an anecdote🔞❗️:

A new Geography teacher comes to a class, but she is completely ignored by the pupils. She has to complain to the head teacher who advises her to approach the issue in a youthful way.
The teacher goes back to the class, grabbing a visual aid.
She asks the pupils:
— Children, who can put a condom on a globe?
There was a surprised silence.
— What is a globe?
— A good question! This is where we will start our lesson!

• В рот мне ноги!
(colloquial)
    [ v rot mnye nogi ]
    SLT: Into mouth (put) my
    legs

Meaning:
This is an interjection of strong surprise, similar to 'Ёшкин кот!'

🔻First it was used in 2008 by Andrei Bocharov during the dubbing (voice-over-translation) of the parody video clips “Street Magic of David Blaine” (third part, 0:54; in stead of the phrase “What the f*ck!”).

🔻Surprisingly, but in English there is a similar expression with a different meaning: 'put your foot in your mouth' which means to say or do something that you should not have, especially something that embarrasses someone else.

❗Please mind the difference in the meaning!

• В рот мне ноги! Да у тебя же талант!
[ v rot mnye nogi. da u tibya zhi talant ]
🇬🇧 Holy cow! You are talented!
