[Tournaments-HotA] Blitz Jebus Cross - 2

Auto-translated
Li za RD is, in my opinion, the most beautiful riddle. Let me explain.
This phrase, "Li za RD," sounds purely Russian, just like "Merlin za Volgograd," "Num za Yekaterinburg," or "Nitro za Gomunguls." It simply has unfamiliar words at the beginning and end – Li and RD.
Li, yes, is Bruce Lee. RD is an MS-DOS command, and it might still be in the Windows console – RD stands for "remove directory."
So, this is a literal decoding of the nickname. And how did Vic manage to break down 6 letters into 3 components, and even include a reference to Bruce Lee through association – it's a masterpiece.

Toga nash – what's there to explain? It has a purely Caucasian sound. A person is walking in a toga, and toga is a type of clothing. People from one of the militant Caucasian republics approach him with a menacing look and say, "Toga nash," thus implying that the toga should be given up.

Pat riot – also a literal translation. Pat – to pat. Riot – a riot.

After the answers were revealed, everything became clear. I didn't guess 2, 7, 8, and 10 (by the way, 7, cKoTuHa – tsekotukha, is also a masterpiece in my opinion). I also really liked 3, even though it's simple if you know it (but I didn't know it :D).

TNO – trans-Neptunian object – this abbreviation refers to all objects in the solar system that orbit beyond Neptune – a precise scientific term – the Kuiper Belt – TNO – a mathematically accurate hit, Marcus Aurelius, you were wrong. Yes, your "ring far away" – the associations are suitable, but to compare it to a mathematically accurate hit and say that yours is better? No.

What else did Marcus have?
kabzonn – a storage facility for high-precision aerial bombs – the word hi-tech can describe many things, but here it's like a sign on a fence with barbed wire: KAB-Zone, entry and access prohibited.

Regarding IzGoy, even though I guessed it, I still think that the interpretation of the words Goy and Izgoy is very loose. From what I found, the oldest meaning of the Hebrew word Goy is the designation of a person's belonging to any nation. And now, Goy is actually a non-Jew? And Iz-goy is a Jew, right? If anyone knows more and isn't too lazy, please share a link to read.
