Not offensive swearing. "Mordophila": how Russians swore without obscenity 

There are times when we see the only way to stand up for ourselves in the ability to offend the interlocutor. It is worth recognizing that this method is not always justified, and, at times, may even lead to negative consequences. But still there are situations when it is very difficult to do without it.

There can be many such situations, and we will consider some of them in more detail.

Important! Before insulting someone, you need to familiarize yourself with and find out: what the consequences may be, who should not be insulted in any case, what is considered an insult in the law, etc.

self defense

When someone allows themselves to speak offensively in our direction, often, we "boil" in response. Few people manage to restrain their emotions in such a situation and ignore the attacks of an aggressive interlocutor. Of course, if a person has managed to achieve the highest degree of self-control or simply cannot decide on a response offensive remark, then he is able to ignore negative words addressed to him. And yet, more often than not, holding back is not easy. How to do it right in such cases, you can read in our article.

Defense of the weak

There are situations when we cannot help but pay attention to the fact that someone allows himself an insulting attitude towards another person. It is especially unbearable to watch this when a spouse, your child, a shy girl or even an unfamiliar pensioner falls under the shelling of offensive words. In general, aggression awakens in many of us when a weaker person suffers, who finds it difficult to fend for himself. Of course, in this case, the injured party needs protection, and, undoubtedly, will experience a deep sense of gratitude, having received it.

Animal protection

This point is somewhat similar to the previous one, but the difference is that this time it is not about a weak person, but about an animal. Some of us, seeing, for example, how teenagers torture a cat or a drunken person kicking a dog, try to pretend that they simply don’t notice what is happening, but the majority still cannot look indifferently at the suffering of “smaller brothers”. Of course, in this case, insults on your part will be more than justified.

How to morally humiliate a person without a mat

Not each of us is able to humiliate a person without resorting to swear words. However, if you learn this, then you can say that you have mastered the art of the most "subtle" insults.

Clever phrases to shut up a person

If you want to put a person in his place, with some kind of veiled insult, take note of a few phrases.

  • Open your mouth at the dentist!
  • Usually those who do not succeed in their own climb into someone else's life.
  • Don't get under hot hand so as not to fly away under a hot foot.

Cool and funny insults

Such insults can seem cool and funny not only to the person who utters them, but also to the person to whom they refer. However, it all depends on how touchy your interlocutor is. If he is too sensitive to the slightest hint of insults and overly vulnerable, then, of course, he will not be funny in this situation.

  • Yes, close your laugher already!
  • Stop waving your tongue like a parade flag.

Offensive sharp phrases

If you want to offend someone with a caustic and offensive phrase, then apparently this person really managed to hurt you and you crave. Of course, in no case should you show that you are offended or angry - in this case, you will not achieve the desired effect. Speak sharp phrases in a calm tone, which may well be accompanied by a slight smirk.

  • Looks like the stork dropped someone on the way. And not once.
  • You would have been taken to the Kunstkamera while still alive.
  • Another similar phrase, and you will have to move in jerks through life.
  • You should consider saving nature by sterilizing yourself.
  • It must be hard for you to love nature, after what she has done to you.

How to culturally send a person by calling witty words

You may well offend a person, even being with him on “you”. To do this, it is not at all necessary to switch to obscene words or direct insults. One witty phrase is enough. Therefore, you can even say that, in this way, you will send a person culturally.

  • Are you leaving already? And why so slowly?
  • I'm too busy a person to pay attention to your complexes.
  • Shock me, say something smart at last.
  • It seems that you have not passed youthful maximalism.
  • You should be silent more often, you would pass for a smart one.
  • I hope that you are not always so stupid, but only today.

And yet, most likely, you understand that in the case when we insult someone else, it is quite difficult to talk about any level of culture. Often such conversations simply roll into an ugly squabble.

Play on his weaknesses and complexes

If the situation develops in such a way that you have to insult a woman (we note that these are still the most extreme situations), then, of course, you can play on her complexes. Most often, the weak point of a woman is her appearance. Even if she does not show that your words somehow hurt her, most likely, you will still achieve the goal - she will remember what you said and it will disturb her. It is also worth noting that some men can also be offended by mentioning their appearance or physical parameters. Although most often a male representative can be offended by mentioning his unenviable mental qualities, most men react quite painfully to these remarks. Lists for men and women.

So some examples:

  • Alas, you cannot save the world with beauty. However, the mind too.
  • Woman, you are not so beautiful as to be rude to people.
  • Just looking at you, I can believe that man actually evolved from a monkey.
  • Don't worry, maybe one day you will say something smart.
  • Where did you learn how to do makeup in the style of Valuev?
  • What, no one wants to get married, why is she so angry?
  • Is it really tight? Well, at least try to spread the bone marrow.
  • It is immediately obvious that your parents wanted you to run away from home.
  • The truth is that the brain is not everything. In your case, it's nothing at all.

Create long-term systematic pressure on the enemy

Important to remember! Systematic psychological pressure on a weaker person, his persecution, harassment and humiliation is called. Such behavior is unacceptable and sharply condemned in society.

Naturally, in this paragraph we are talking about psychological pressure - the influence on the interlocutors, which occurs in order to change their psychological attitudes, decisions and opinions. Often this method is used in situations where, for some reason, you cannot openly be rude to a person, but you are also unable to not react to his behavior in any way. So, what types of psychological pressure exist?

Moral pressure

It can also be called humiliation, which is expressed in the desire to morally suppress the interlocutor. Systematically, you point out some feature of a person, even if your words are not true. Thus, you intentionally sow complexes in your opponent. For example, you can always hint or directly tell someone: “How stupid you are,” “You are very clumsy,” “You still need to lose weight,” and the like. In this case, it becomes difficult for the interlocutor to control himself, and if at first he practically does not pay attention to your words, then later they begin to seriously offend him. It is important to note that this technique is appropriate to apply to people who suffer from self-doubt.

Compulsion

Such a method can be used by a person who is endowed with some kind of power - finance, information, or even physical strength. In this case, the opponent is not able to give a worthy rebuff, realizing that in this case he may suffer financially, not receive the necessary information, and so on.

Belief

This kind of psychological pressure can be called the most rational. By applying it, you are trying to appeal to the logic of a person and his mind. This method is applicable to people with a normal level of intelligence who are able to understand what you are trying to convey to them. A person who tries to act by the method of persuasion should select the most logical and evidential phrases, not allowing doubts and uncertainty in his tone. It is important to understand that as soon as the "victim" begins to notice any inconsistencies, the force of such pressure will begin to weaken.

suspension

In this case, the person makes an attempt, as it were, to “starve out” the interlocutor. You are trying to put pressure on someone, but when they try to convict you of this, then you step back or move on to other topics. You can also, in response, accuse the opponent of inventing everything, twisting it, and so on.

Suggestion

This method of psychological attack can only be used by a person who is somehow an authority for his “victim”. One way or another, you are trying to inspire something to the interlocutor, speaking in hints or directly.

Is it permissible to use obscene names and curses

Of course, we are far from always able to control ourselves and cope with ourselves in peak situations, but you should make every effort to achieve this. If it has come to the point that you do not see any other way but to get nasty to a person, then try to do it subtly and beautifully. As they say, there is no need to stoop to the level of “bazaar women”. Of course, if you could not restrain yourself and switched to a mat, then there is nothing to be done, and yet try not to allow this, and put the person “in place” in other ways.

It's not that you can injure the interlocutor in some special way with obscenities. It is simply believed that a person who has “descended” to obscenities is not able to defend his opinion in ordinary words - to some extent, this is how we demonstrate our own inadequacy. Of course, it’s another matter if you, in principle, always communicate with the abundant use of swear words, but this is a completely different conversation.

How to learn sarcasm using cheeky funny words

Having learned to use bold and funny expressions to the point, you will surely be able to gain fame in a close circle as a person with a good sense of humor and mastering the technique of sarcasm. But it is important not to forget that impudence can be fraught with consequences, and with such phrases you can provoke the interlocutor to an unpredictable reaction.

  • Go, lie down, rest. Yes, at least on the rails.
  • It would be possible to offend you, of course, but nature has already coped for me.
  • Nobody scares you, you will be scared at the mirror.
  • Your mouth could use a stapler.
  • Well, I rang the chain, now go to the booth.

Learning the art of sarcasm

And yet, it is important to note that people who can express themselves in a sarcastic form do not always use this skill, trying to offend or humiliate someone. Often, sarcasm sounds when some non-trivial situation is commented on - then it looks funny and organic.

It is almost impossible to comprehend the art of sarcasm for a person whose vocabulary not very diverse, and the outlook is rather limited. That is why it is worth reading and learning more. Type in the search: "Authors who write with humor." As you yourself understand, in any case, truly “sharp” phrases are made up of words, the variety of which you can easily draw from intellectual films and books. By the way, examples of some witty phrases can also be seen in books. As a last resort, learn sarcasm from people who make a living from their jokes - we are talking about the participants and hosts of various comedy television shows.

If you want to pass for a really witty person, then do not repeat the mistake that many beginner pranksters or people who think they are are. Having heard or read some interesting joke or funny expression, they periodically repeat it in order to make the interlocutor laugh. The first couple of times it can be really funny, but after a while people start smiling just out of politeness, and that's for the time being, for the time being. As you understand, it is simply unacceptable for a master of sarcasm to be associated with someone with a broken record.

If you want to be rude beautifully, then it is appropriate to use phrases that your interlocutor probably has not heard yet or those that he will not immediately orient himself with a witty answer. In this case, for sure, you will look more advantageous. So, perhaps some of these statements will seem appropriate to you.

  • If these beeps continue to come from your platform, then your dental staff will have to move.
  • Are you sick or do you always look like this?
  • You would now stray into a tube.
  • Pay attention to the plinth so as not to forget about your level.
  • I would laugh at you, but life has already done it for me.

We consider possible consequences

Entering into a skirmish with an aggressive interlocutor, it would be foolish not to take into account the possible consequences of this step. You must understand and be prepared for the fact that you will have to move from words to deeds if, for example, you threaten someone with physical violence. If your opponent provokes you to further actions, and you just start ignoring him, then all your threats simply lose their meaning. Of course, it can turn out differently - a person will be frightened by your words, and will shut up. However, you must be prepared to different developments events, if they nevertheless decided to enter into a conflict.

When not to use insults

All your "pungent phrases" and "beautiful insults" do not make any sense if you decide to use them when communicating with an insane person. So, what kind of person can be called insane. First of all, this refers to the interlocutor who is under strong alcohol or drug influence. Surely, such a person will simply not be able to appreciate the subtlety of your insults - he simply will not hear them, or he will react inadequately, even if your words are not too offensive. It’s really better not to mess with such people, even if they are trying in every possible way to offend you. Your task is to completely leave their field of vision, and not enter into a senseless conflict. If a drunk person offends a weaker one, then, of course, you need to help the offended party, but verbal skirmishes are unlikely to give any positive result.

In any case, if you are sure that in the current situation you can do without insults by solving the problem in some other way, then it is better not to go as far as cursing. It is possible that later you will have to regret your incontinence. As we have already mentioned, it is appropriate to take this step only in case of protection (of yourself or a loved one). If you yourself initiate such conversations, you will very soon get a reputation as a boor and brawler.

Even before the "invention" of swear words in Russia, there was a huge layer of vocabulary that was used for swearing. She was on the move like ordinary people(artisans, peasants, servants in the chambers of the nobility), and among more educated, even high-ranking persons (interpreters (translators), teachers, boyars, princes). These words were not indecent, taboo vocabulary, so they were freely used in everyday life.

From the animal kingdom

The simplest curses were formed from the names of animals ("cattle", "worm", "dog", "goat", etc.). If a person used one or more of these curses in relation to any person, he equated the latter with a creature of lower development, considered that unworthy of the high rank of a person. Usually low moral qualities or insufficient mental development of the person being called was condemned in this way.

otherworldly forces

Very carefully, but still used for curses and words denoting otherworldly forces: “witch”, “devil”, “demon”, etc. But they tried not to abuse such words much so as not to invite trouble. It was believed that the remembrance of the name of the unclean could attract him to this world, to the person who called him. A woman could be called a “witch” only in their hearts, very angry when emotions definitely took precedence over caution.

Unique tokens

In addition to the names of animals, the Slavs also widely used unique “swearing” vocabulary. For example, such as “ashcheul” (grinder and mocker), “basalai” (rude person, ignorant, rude). These words had a bright emotional coloring for our ancestors, but over the centuries they ceased to be used, lost their color and meaning. Many of the ancient Slavic curses are completely incomprehensible modern people. [S-BLOCK]

A very small number of words are still used in different dialects, and their speakers perfectly understand what they are talking about. For example: “balamoshka” (crazy, stupid, fool), “penty” (fat, flabby person with a big belly and large buttocks), etc. Others - unique and very colorful - words gradually lost their meaning and were forgotten. It is only thanks to philologists and researchers of the Russian language that they have now been restored:

Bozhedure (also: lud, oak talker, nonsense, nonsense, dumbfounded, oatmeal forehead, slut) - a fool from God, a fool, an idiot; Balakhvost - a man who drags after all the women in a row; Bezpelyukha is a clumsy person, and also a slob, besides; Bzyrya - a reveler, a rake; Boldyr (aka eropka or bunya) - a person with great conceit, swaggering and puffed up; Brydly - a disgusting person, vile; Valandai is a quitter; Squeaky spinner (aka Sverbiguzka) - a young girl who cannot sit still, fidget; [Vymysok - a moral monster, a geek; Vyazhikhvostka - a woman who spreads gossip throughout the district; Eyeball - the one who stares his eyes is overly curious; Gulnya (she’s a yonda, a dragger, a shlenda, a mother, a bald and shameless woman) - a walking woman, literally a prostitute; Erokhvost - the one who does not need bread, but just let me argue on any topic; Yerpyl is a small, hasty peasant; Zaguzatka - a fat girl (or married woman) with a huge ass; Zaovinnik - the one who squeezes the girls behind the barn, the red tape man; Zatetekha is a tall and very large woman; Zakhukhrya - an uncombed girl or a peasant who does not follow his appearance; Kashchei (aka skared) - miser, greedy; Kolobrod is a loafer; Kolotovka (or kuelda) is a stupid and grumpy woman, who, moreover, can raise her hand to the offender; Kiselai (aka kolupai) is a lethargic, very slow person who is of little use; Loshy - unfit, bad; Lyabzya - idler; Mihryutka is a very clumsy person; Mordophilia - a fool, besides boastful, swaggering; Moskolud is a prankster; Nasupa (aka nasuponya) - an angry person, gloomy; It blew - a person with whom you should not deal, a deceiver; Bummer - rude;

Around the shadow - a naughty child / youth, a fool to the same; Ohalnik - a prankster, fixing all sorts of indecency, outrageous; Furnace valley (he bakes) - one who does not get off the furnace, i.e. lazy person; Hollowhead - a liar or simply a talker; Pynya is a woman who carries herself high, impregnable, very proud; Raztetyoha is a very fat and clumsy woman; Scraped snout - a man with a shaved beard, which was considered shameful in Russia; Bitch - literally "carrion", the last of the last, worthless little man; The Scarecrow is a terribly ugly man, such that people become afraid of him; Tartyra - the one who likes to kiss the bottle, and then rages on a drunken head; Truperda is a clumsy, clumsy woman; Tyuryuhailo is a very sloppy, sloppy person; Fofan - a stupid person who is easily deceived, a simpleton; Khmysten is a thief; Stranger (or shlynda) - one who lives at someone else's expense, parasite, parasite; shaloput - a person from whom there is little sense, dissolute.

And this is only a part of the offensive and insulting words that the Russian people came up with to denote the low qualities of a person.

In ancient Russia, swearing was called "obscene verbs" (in the sense: bad words).

Some of them, especially those of foreign origin, have quite a noble pedigree.
Take, for example, the word "idiot". It comes from the Greek "idios" - peculiar, special. It is precisely this meaning that Dostoevsky put into the title of his famous novel: Prince Myshkin is an “idiot” in the sense that he is an unusual person, an original personality who stands out sharply from the surrounding society. Okhlamon comes from the Greek “ohlos” (crowd), and literally means “ the leader of the crowd. "Oboltus in the Roman Empire called poor citizens who received daily material assistance from the state - 1 obol (the smallest coin). Many Russian words, which are now classified as obscene, had a different meaning. Let us take the now abusive word "contagion". So 250 years ago it was a flattering compliment for a lady. In those days, say: “What an infection you are!” meant to confess: "What a charm you are, sheer charm!" The poems of the poets of the first half of the 18th century are full of these "infections" dear to the heart. And all because the word "infect" originally meant "to slay, kill." In the Novgorod First Chronicle, under the year 1117, we read: “One from the clerk was infected from thunder,” i.e. one deacon was killed by lightning. According to the natural course of thought, the word “infection” eventually began to denote female charms, with which they “infected” (fought on the spot) men.

The word "ass" in Russian Pravda literally meant "inheritance", what a person leaves behind (behind) himself. From the annals it is known that in 1147 the people of Kiev staged a rebellion and said: “We don’t want to be in the ass of the princes.” This should be understood not in the sense that, they say, we do not want to be among the princes in the priest, but: we do not want to pass from prince to prince, like a thing by inheritance. In other words, the Kiev veche wanted to choose its own princes.

Let's finish this short digression with a "freak", which in Old Slavonic means a handsome man, one who was born to glory. This old meaning is preserved in Polish and some other languages. Tell the beauties there: “You are my freak!” - and they will melt with pleasure.

The meaning of some of which:

Cretin.
If we were transported about five or six centuries ago to the mountainous region of the French Alps and turned to the inhabitants there: “Hello, cretins!”, No one would have thrown you into the abyss for this. And why be offended - in the local dialect, the word cretin is quite decent and translates as ... "Christian" (from the distorted French chretien). So it was until they began to notice that among the Alpine cretins there are often mentally retarded people with a characteristic goiter on the neck. Later it turned out that in mountainous areas in water there is often a lack of iodine, as a result of which the activity of the thyroid gland is disrupted, with all the ensuing consequences. When doctors began to describe this disease, they decided not to invent anything new and used the dialect word "cretin", which was extremely rarely used. So the Alpine "Christians" became "feeble-minded."

blockhead
"Doodles" in Russia were called stone or wooden pagan idols, as well as the source material itself or the workpiece - whether it be stone or wood (cf. Czech balvan - "block" or Serbo-Croatian "balvan" - "log, beam"). It is believed that the word itself came to the Slavic languages ​​​​from the Turkic.

Fool
For a very long time, the word "fool" was not offensive. In the documents of the XV-XVII centuries. this word occurs as a name. And they are called so by no means serfs, but quite respectable people - “Prince Fedor Semenovich the Fool of Kemsky”, “Prince Ivan Ivanovich the Bearded Fool Zasekin”, “Moscow clerk Fool Mishurin”. Since the same time, countless "stupid" surnames begin - Durov, Durakov, Durnovo ...
And the fact is that the word "fool" was often used as a second non-church name. In the old days, it was popular to give a child a middle name in order to deceive evil spirits - they say, what to take from a fool?

loch
Two centuries ago, this very popular word was used only among the inhabitants of the Russian north and they called it not people, but fish. Probably, many have heard how courageously and stubbornly the famous salmon goes to the spawning place. Rising against the current, he overcomes even steep rocky rapids. It is clear that having reached and spawned, the fish loses its last strength (as they say, “clouds”) and the wounded one is literally carried downstream. And there, of course, cunning fishermen are waiting for her and take, as they say, with their bare hands.

Sharomyzhnik
1812. The previously invincible Napoleonic army, exhausted by the cold and partisans, was retreating from Russia. The brave "conquerors of Europe" turned into frozen and hungry ragamuffins. Now they did not demand, but humbly asked the Russian peasants for something to eat, addressing them "her ami" ("dear friend"). peasants, in foreign languages not strong, they called the French beggars - "sharomyzhniks." Not the last role in these metamorphoses was played, apparently, by the Russian words "to fumble" and "mykat".

trash
Since the peasants were not always able to provide "humanitarian aid" to the former occupiers, they often included horse meat, including the fallen, in their diet. In French, a horse is cheval (hence, by the way, the well-known word "chevalier" - a knight, a rider). However, the Russians, who did not see a special chivalry in eating horses, dubbed the miserable Frenchmen with the word "trash", in the sense of "rabble."

Chantrap
Not all French made it to France. Many of those taken prisoner were employed by the Russian nobles. Of course, they were not suitable for suffering, but how tutors, teachers and leaders of serf theaters came in handy. They examined those sent to the peasants and, if they did not see talents in the applicant, they waved their hands and said “Chantra pas” (“not fit for singing”).

Scoundrel
But this word is Polish in origin and meant only "a simple, humble person." So, the well-known play by A. Ostrovsky “Enough Stupidity for Every Wise Man” was shown in Polish theaters under the title “Notes of a Scoundrel”. Accordingly, all non-gentry belonged to the “vile people”.

Rogue
"Rogue", "rogue" - words that came into our speech from Germany. The German schelmen meant "swindler, deceiver". Most often, this was the name of a fraudster posing as another person. In G. Heine's poem "Shelm von Berger", this role is played by the Bergen executioner, who appeared at the secular masquerade, pretending to be noble person. The duchess, with whom he danced, caught the deceiver by tearing off his mask.

Mymra
"Mymra" is a Komi-Permyak word and it is translated as "gloomy". Once in the Russian speech, it began to mean, first of all, an uncommunicative homebody (in Dahl's dictionary it is written: “to squint - to sit at home without getting out”). Gradually, “mymra” began to be called simply an unsociable, boring, gray and gloomy person.

bastard
"Bastards" - in Old Russian the same thing as "dragging". Therefore, the bastard was originally called all sorts of garbage, which was raked into a heap. This meaning (among others) is also preserved by Dahl: “A bastard is everything that is dragged or dragged into one place: weeds, grass and roots, rubbish, dragged by a harrow from arable land.” Over time, this word began to define ANY crowd gathered in one place. And only then they began to call them all kinds of despicable people - drunks, thieves, vagrants and other asocial elements.

scumbag
Another word that originally existed exclusively in the plural. It could not be otherwise, since "scum" was the name given to the remains of the liquid that remained at the bottom along with the sediment. And since all sorts of rabble often wandered around the taverns and taverns, finishing up the muddy remnants of alcohol after other visitors, the word “scum” soon passed to them. It is also possible that the expression “scum of society”, that is, people who have fallen, are “at the bottom”, played a significant role here.

Bastard
The word "hybrid", as you know, is non-Russian and entered the popular arsenal rather late. Much later than the hybrids themselves - crossbreeds of different animal species. So the people came up with the words "bastard" and "geek" for such crossbreeds. Words for a long time in the animal sphere did not linger and began to be used as a humiliating name for bastards and bastards, that is, a “mixture” of nobles with commoners.

insolent
The words "impudence", "impudent" existed in the Russian language for quite a long time in the meaning of "sudden, impetuous, explosive, passionate." It used to be in Ancient Russia and the concept of "impudent death", that is, death is not slow, natural, but sudden, violent.
