Russian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Literally, “jam day”. First attested in 1998. From a scene in Малы́ш и Ка́рлсон (Malýš i Kárlson, “Little Brother and Karlsson”), a Russian cartoon adaptation of Karlsson-on-the-Roof by Astrid Lindgren, where Karlsson is wishing the boy a happy birthday while eating jam but, since the Russian варе́нье (varénʹje, “jam”) rhymes with рожде́ние (roždénije, “birth”), he confuses the words and wishes him a happy jam day instead.
