From time to time we have to enter into conflicts. In such cases, it is sometimes very difficult not to utter a few curses in the direction of the opponent. For this purpose, we will consider English curses. They will allow you to scold someone as a joke or complain to your friends about the offenders, calling them all sorts of bad words :). In addition, suddenly, someone will call you in English, and you won’t understand if you don’t learn these words.

Here are collected anti-compliment adjectives that will be useful to know even the most non-conflict and friendly people. After all, we can meet these words and phrases in the movies, or use them to describe the negative traits of a person’s character. Let's start 😉

How to say that a person does not shine with the mind

A bit thick

The word thick has several meanings. The basic meaning of this word is thick, dense. But in informal English, it can also be a name-calling - dumbass. When you talk about a person "a bit thick", you are saying that they are a bit thick/slightly tight.

A bit dense

This is a synonym for the previous expression. The word dense has the same meaning as thick - dense / thick. But in colloquial English it means "stupid", "stupid". A bit dense - slightly blunt.

A total airhead

|ə ˈtəʊt(ə)l ˈɛːhɛd|

This expression means that a person has wind in his head instead of his brain. You can translate it as "a complete fool."

not all there

|nɒt ɔːl ðɛː|

Perhaps one of the harshest expressions, since you are talking about the absence of a brain in a person. Not all there - “not all at home” (but on English phrase sounds much rougher than in Russian).

A few bricks short of a full load

|ə fjuː brɪks ʃɔːt ɒv fʊl ləʊd|

it English idiom, which means that the person is dumb and has "not all at home." The expression is often translated into Russian as "not everything is in order with the head." The literal translation is "a few bricks are missing before the full load." You can also find this version of this expression: two bricks short of a load.

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer

|nɒt ðə ˈʃɑːpɪst nʌɪf ɪn ðə drɔː(r)|

Another idiom for describing a person who is not outstanding in mind. Literally, it translates as "not the sharpest knife in the drawer." It is translated into Russian as "not the most clever man"/" not particularly bright with the mind "/" not the most savvy person.

Thick as two short planks

|θɪk æz ˈtuː ʃɔːt plæŋks|

As we wrote above, in informal English thick means "stupid". This expression means "dumb as two short boards." The Russian equivalent is "dumb as firewood".

Not academically gifted

|nɒt ˌækəˈdemɪkəli ˈɡɪftɪd|

Not academically gifted. Such a very subtle hint that the mental abilities of a person leave much to be desired.

Not the smartest…

|nɒt ðə ˈsmɑːtɪst|

A rather mild expression, which translates as "not the smartest ...". After the word "smartest" we add who is not the smartest. For example: she's not the smartese girl (she's not the smartest girl), "he's not the smartest teacher" (not the smartest teacher).

A dimwit

A very rude expression meaning "cretin" / "stupid".

Now you know adjectives to describe the negative qualities of a person. Break these English swear words into small groups and learn when you have time. free time. To remember the words faster, think about the situations in which you could use them.

This may be the most obscene article you will read on our blog, but if you want to understand how to swear (more precisely, how not to swear) in English, then keep reading.

Cursing in every language is not just a manifestation of weakness and a bad habit, it is an expression of a wide variety of human emotions: anger, aggression, weakness, annoyance, disappointment, surprise, and even delight.

I am sure that each of you understands what is at stake. And if, after accidentally spilling tea on a computer with a written diploma, you still have humble patience, then you need to pay tribute - your endurance can be envied.

How often do we encounter swearing in foreign language? Almost no film is complete without ornate expressions, which sometimes quite accurately reflect the picture of what is happening. Now we are not talking about situations where the picture is filled with a stream of interjections, from which you want to hide in an empty room.

Math is, first of all, a layer of vocabulary that you need to know in order not to use it. It may sound silly, but there are people who study swear words and write dissertations on these topics. And they definitely have something to say.

Precise, often short expressions, consisting mainly of 4 letters, are associated with sex or the natural needs of a person. AT English language swear words are often called 4 letter words. With just one word f * ck, you can find expressions that, when translated into Russian, acquire a huge number of shades:

Fuck it!- To hell! Do not pay attention!
Who gives a f*ck– Who cares?
Fuck off- fall off, fall off, fall behind
F*ck up- fail, fail
F*ck somebody's mind- rinse the brain, brainwash, "open" the brain

In addition, the word f*ck can be used as an adjective f*cking before any part of speech to give additional emotional coloring. Interestingly, the meaning of this f*cking may not always be negative. When meeting with beautiful girl“You are f*cking beautiful” may involuntarily escape from the lips, and in such a situation it is not necessary to concentrate on the swear word.

Using such "eloquent" English words and expressions, be sure that you are doing it correctly, because even in such a familiar sphere there are certain rules for using vocabulary. So, for example, after question words (what, who, where, why, etc.) use f*ck may indicate a burning desire to know the answer to the question:

What the f*ck are you doing here?"What the hell are you doing here?"
Who the f*ck are you?– Who are you anyway?

Please note that the meanings of swear words can be quite vague, so often such obscene language can pop up even where you don’t expect it at all. Yes, the expression f*ck up can be translated completely neutrally - as "confusion" or "mistake".

Of course, f*ck- one of the most universal and common words, but you should not think that there are no other words in the English language. Among the 4-letter words, one can still distinguish co*k, cu*t, sh*t. If you want to learn more about slang, take a look at the Internet Slang Dictionary & Translator, The Free Dictionary, or rife with stupid and offensive words.

Today we have an unusual lesson. And not even very decent. We will touch on the section of English slang that deals with various unpleasant name-calling. This does not mean at all that we encourage you to commit any heinous things! Not at all. But since such a phenomenon exists in the language, you should at least understand it.

It is worth noting that you are unlikely to encounter name-calling among decent intelligent people. All this vocabulary, as a rule, is inherent in a childish or teenage manner of communication.

So, let's begin!

If you heard the expression soap dodger, it means someone, sorry, has not washed for a long time. The word soap means “soap”, and dodger is someone who avoids something. The expression soap dodger is translated into Russian with words such as “skunk”, “dirty”, etc. For example:

Get out of my cab you filthy soapdodger. “Get out of my car, stinker.

A synonym for soap dodger is the word minger, which means practically the same, i.e. "smelly man" In addition, this word can also be called an ugly woman. For example:

Oh god, look at her - she's a right minger! “God, look at her!” Well, ugly!

Word div means undeveloped and frankly stupid person. Here is how the word can be used in speech:

Shut up, you div! "Shut up, you dumbass!"

If you suddenly heard the word weirdo, it means that something is wrong with someone. Weirdo means “weird”, “glitchy”, “perverted”, etc.

Betty is such a weirdo. – Betty has specific glitches.

If someone is desperately trying to do something, but he does not succeed, then you can safely call such a person try hard. Especially if a person tries to do something that he is not capable of in terms of his mental or physical qualities. For example:

Look at Nick, he is such a try-hard interjecting in a conversation he knows nothing about. - Look at Nick! He climbs out of his skin, trying to insert at least a word into a conversation in which he does not understand anything.

We often hear the next word in relation to those who wear glasses - "bespectacled", in English - four eyes. Literally, four eyes translates as “four eyes”. For example:

Hey four eyes, what's that? - Hey, bespectacled, how are you?

Word loser in recent times firmly established in the Russian language - a loser, i.e. loser, unsuccessful person. For example:

You're a loser, I hate you. You are a complete loser, I hate you.

Word loner denotes an unhappy person who has no friends. In Russian, the word "loner" is not pejorative. If we say about someone that he is a “loner”, then we are simply stating a fact rather than trying to offend. In English slang, the word loner carries a negative characteristic, because. if a person has no friends, then it means that he is nothing of himself. For example:

He's such a loner. - He's a loner.

Word sad translated as “sad”, “pathetic” and is often used to enhance an already negative characteristic. For example:

You are a sad coward. “You are a pathetic coward.

Among children, when one calls another, you can often hear the rhyme:

I'm rubber you are glue
whatever you say bounce off me
and sticks to you
.

Literally, it translates as follows: I am rubber, and you are glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you. The meaning of these words is clear - to divert the insult from oneself and redirect it to the offender. We, native speakers of the Russian language, in this case, simply say “He is like that.”

If your interlocutor suddenly fell silent, and at the same time you are waiting for his words, you can ask Has cat got your toung? This question is an abbreviated version of Has the cat got your tongue? Literally, this phrase translates as “Did a cat eat your tongue?” In Russian, there is an expression “You swallowed your tongue?”. For example:

What's the matter, cat got your tongue? - What happened to you? Did you swallow your tongue?

The following expression has a very wide range of applications − Your mom!, i.e. "Your mother!". It can be used as a frivolous, humorous answer to almost any question. For example:

– What time is it? – What time is it?
– Your mom. - Your mother.

And here “Your mother” when answering a question about time is not clear, but the British can really answer like that. Mysterious English humor!

Now consider an expression we can use to silence a person. In Russian we say “Shut up!”, “Shut up!” etc., but in English - Shut your gob! Instead of gob, you can say trap or cakehole. For example:

Shut your gob Allison! I can hear your voice from my room. Alison, shut up! I can hear you even from my room.

If we want a person to leave, then in English we can say get lost!, which means "get lost!". We can also say Do one!, which can be translated by various Russian phrases such as “Wash away!”, “Get out of here!” etc.

Get lost, I am tired of hearing from you. - Wash off! I'm tired of listening to you.

Expression Don't get your knickers in a twist used when we want to calm a person down. It corresponds roughly to the Russian phrases “Don’t worry!”, “Don’t bother!” etc. For example:

Sally don't get your knickers in a twist over that split milk on the floor! “Sally, don’t worry about spilled milk!

If you want to call a person to calmness, you can also use the phrase Take a chill pill, which literally means "Take a calming pill."

The following phrase sounds in relation to a person caught in a lie: Liar Liar Pants On Fire! Literally, it translates as "Liar, liar, burning pants." This is a childish expression that can often be heard in relation to an excessively boastful child:

– Well my dad can pick up a truck! - Yes, my dad can lift a truck!
– Liar Liar Pants On Fire! - Liar! Liar!

Expression Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy means easy a simple task. By the way, in modern Britain this expression has a very wide circulation. In Russian, we say “a trifling matter”, “like two fingers on ...”, etc.

The claim processes were easy peasy lemon squeezy. - This (legal) process turned out to be a mere trifle.

At the end of today's lesson, let's take a couple more expressions related to farewell and parting. First See you later alligator!- literally "Bye, alligator!". In response, you can hear: After / In a while crocodile!, i.e. "Bye, crocodile."

See you later alligator! - Bye!
– After a while crocodile! - Bye!
