(Russian folkolore)
The following words and expressions are rude, naughty and
generally not something you would say in front of you mother
(this is an alternative Russian slang dictionary, after all). As
the educated Russians got an extensive opportunity to mingle
with criminals under the Soviet regime (espescially in the
many gulags) many terms from the thieves’ language spread
throughout the whole Russian society and should be
understood, even if they are often judged not to be printable
( ). Some are mere colloquialisms
but also fail to appear in standard Russian dictionaries, the
latest section concerns modern Russian Internet slang (do not
miss the new krivetizator, a tool turning proper Russian into
something a geek can read). This dictionary is dedicated to
making the commonly spoken Russian language and
profanity more understandable for non Russians, but you
should better not use them. Trust me. I shall not be held
responsible for any injuries that you might well suffer if you
chose to utter those words in public. Explanations are
currently mostly given in standard language, not as English
slang equivalents, therefore you might not be able to assess
the rudeness of the words properly.
