'Ello gov'na 

A British greeting originated in the southernmost parts of the United Kingdom, most commonly associated with Cockney speakers. It may be interpreted as a lowbrow way of saying "Good day to you." or simply "Hello, sir/miss." and it is thus often used by non-British speakers of English to create a comical effect of sorts, or just to make fun of that specific dialect.
Hello there, Nigel! Smashing to see you, old boy!

govnar, pl. govnari (literaly "the shitters" in Russian)

A subculture in Russia.

Young guys with guitars, playing music on the street and begging for money . Their guitars usually cheap and badly tuned. They usually play covers of popular rock songs, but in very primitive way, as many of them don't have musical skills and know only 3 or 4 chords.

The term originated from the song "Govnorock" of Russian rock band 'Nol'" (Zero) . govnorock = shitty rock, hence those who play that kind of music - the shitters
