Just fyi, I wouldn't use the Cyrillic spellings like that because you haven't conjugated them correctly so it just looks like you're trying to seem more knowledgeable than you are of the russian language. But you also spelled the midget's name wrong its "пидарас (pee-da-ross)," have fun triggering orcs with that one =)

I didn't know хуйло fell out of fashion. Pidors may come in many shapes and forms, while хуйлуша is this one exact disgusting person. Let's be precise in our despise.

There's the polite and shy version of пуйло or хутин .

Thanks for mentioning it, but I don't feel like I'm a polite or shy person talking about him (:

But I do immensely enjoy the ironically homophobic joke. Homophobic jokes are appropriate when making fun of a country of homophobes.

How did you get a homophobic joke from a pederast?

The English "pedarast" is not a great translation. Not vulgar, or like, swear-wordy enough. Doesn't capture the Russian connotations. See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%BF%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%81

пидорас Russian

Alternative forms

пидара́с (pidarás)

пдр (pdr) (SMS slang)

пдрс (pdrs) (SMS slang)

Etymology

Deliberate mispronunciation of педера́ст (pederást, pedɛrást).

It then goes on to say

Noun

пидора́с • (pidorás) m anim (genitive пидора́са, nominative plural пидора́сы, genitive plural пидора́сов)

  1. (vulgar, offensive) fag, faggot (homosexual)
  2. (vulgar) asshole (mean or rude person)

I disagree with this. Using a characteristic of a person as a slur harms all people with that characteristic.

"Stupid" is a characteristic of stupid people. Do you disagree with its usage as well?

I use the Cyrillic spellings to better reflect pronunciation. I don't give a fuck about Russian's totally fucking insane grammar. I know Russian grammar. Only too well.

The first two are actually right. Both are nominative singular.

Only "Путин's fate" is wrong. If I were to respect Russian grammar, but again, why?, it would be "fate Путина".

Nobody else knows or cares how Cyrillic is pronounced versus the language the rest of everything written is. You're just confusing people, especially if you don't care about proper grammar to match your capricious language hopping.

That's a funny clip but let's be kind to each other. They were trying to be thoughtful in their own, admittedly unique, way

I wished to call out arrogant behavior in a fun way, but I may have been needlessly hurtful. I have edited my reply.

Were you confused by what I had typed?

Yeah, so much so that I had to tell you about it in that last comment I wrote.

Yes, I see. I'm sorry. I really thought it would be pretty clear what each Cyrillic name meant, even to people who had never read Cyrillic before.

I appreciate your saying that, and your desire to be respectful of people's names. You had good intentions. I hope you have a great day.

Edit: Why are all you jerks downvoting the dude for saying sorry? Do you want to discourage people from apologizing? Because that's how you discourage people from apologizing.

I certainly was, it's like you [redacted] didn't want us to [redacted] but instead [redacted] you were saying about [redacted]. Get it?

Why respect the spelling and pronunciation but not the grammar? Seems kinda arbitrary.

It is not respect for the language. It is the minimum amount of respect every person gets when addressed by their true name. Even Путин deserves to be called by his true name. Though that is really all he deserves.
