Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

Judging by the definitions offered by one of the online slang dictionaries, it could be translated, in specific contexts, as "urban legend".

We will all be familiar with amusing (or in many cases not very amusing) pictures or gobbets of text that are reposted from site to site on the internet, but I did not know until today that in Russian they are known as бояны.  I am now wondering whether there is an equivalent term in English.  Does anyone know?
