I thought the iconic #Russian #BolshoiTheater was named after some important celebrity (or maybe the word meant something beautiful,meaningful,poetic), but it turns out that #Большо́й (pronounced Balshoi) means...big. I haven't been this disappointed since I translated the sexist 'la donna è mobile'🥺
