🔻And a new trend has appeared on TikTok using this track. Girls from all over the world are putting their cats on their heads, using them as fur hats, just like in the singer's music video (video 1).

• То-сё, пятое-десятое
[to syo pya-ta-ye di-sya-ta-ye]
SLT: this, that, fifth, tenth
🔻This colloquial phrase doesn't have a direct, single-word English equivalent, but its meaning is easily grasped.
Meaning:
It's used instead of listing various objects, circumstances, matters, or a rambling, disorganized account of something.
🔻It is similar to saying this and that and a whole bunch of other stuff in English.
🔻The parts of this colloquial phrase have equal meanings and can be used separately:
• То-сё = то да сё
=
• Пятое-десятое
Example (see the video):
• Мои планы на день: то-сё, пятое-десятое.
My plans for the day: this and that and a whole bunch of other stuff.
