One great thing about Slavic languages is that they're like linguistic Lego, allowing you to invent words on the spot. Like 'droning' in this case, although in Russian that would only be a very basic example. There are three or four words in Russian referring to either a specific sexual activity or human private parts, from which an entire sub-language has evolved, including verbs, nouns and adjectives, used at various levels of offensiveness and rudeness. It does add some zest to the otherwise quite boring activity of trying to master a foreign language.

When I think of "droning" I think of some politician "droning" on and on.
