The autocratic President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, had a little slip-of-the tongue during a recent speech and accidentally told Belarusians that they should “get undressed and work.”
Belarusians, being the good subjects of an autocratic regime that they are, complied — hilariously — by posting safe-for-work pictures to social media under the hashtag “#раздеватьсяиработать,” which we think translates to #GetNakedAndGoToWork.
Here are some of the funnier ones we’ve seen:
