Yes, that's exaclty what I do except I say 'ресиклаж' . Or stuff like 'пошли в даун таун '. I don't have many examples, but I remember getting a lot of weird looks in Russia with people asking me what I meant.

Yeah, my parents are (kinda) russian, emigrated to Canada in the 90's. I say kinda because in the USSR, it was all one big country and my roots are actually Jewish, Polish, Ukrainian, Belorus and not so much russian but my parents grew up in Soviet Culture and only spoke russian so culturally, I say they're russian. It's easier than explaining my whole family history to anyone that asks :P
