SoundCzech Going a little nuts!
Hello and welcome to another edition of SoundCzech, our language course in which you can pick up Czech idioms through song lyrics. In today’s episode we learn the expression rupnout v kouli used in a song called Proč, proč by folksinger Jaroslav Hutka. In Czech rupnout means to crack while koule is a sphere, but in this case it is slang for one’s head. When you say ruplo mu v kouli, you’re basically saying something went wrong in his head, he went a bit bonkers.
