What does “как два пальца обоссать” mean in English?
This phrase means something is very easy to do. It uses a crude metaphor to emphasize simplicity.
Literally “like pissing on two fingers”
It's similar to saying 'a piece of cake' in English, often used in informal contexts. The tone is casual and slightly vulgar, so it's not one for polite conversation.

The literal gloss is a short editorial translation to show word-for-word sense, not an etymological claim.
“Sounds like” is an English-friendly approximation of how the word sounds, not an authoritative pronunciation. Where shown, the romanisation is a conventional Latin-script transliteration of the original spelling.
