The funniest new words that have appeared in the Russian language over the past few years have been compiled by the publication “Dog”, Asking the famous writer Tatyana Tolstoy to compile a list of neologisms.

Scraper: A buzzword right now. This needs to be exclaimed. It doesn't have a clear meaning. “Eshkere” appeared in the Russian rap scene, it came from the elephantine English abbreviation esketit what actually means let's get it, that is, “let's get it,” “let's do something,” and so on, there may be many options, depending on the context.

KEK: This word is close to the slang "lol", but it has a more caustic meaning. KEK is ironic (often unkind, malevolent, mocking) laughter. Keck can also be called a person who has fallen into a ridiculous (stupid) position (again, with a touch of mockery). If LOL is an analogue laughing smile or the expression rynemogu (laugh out loud), then KEK is more of a mockery than a smile.

Zashkvar: This is from the prison tongue, hollowed-down, the one with whom you can not sit next to, who can not shake hands. In our everyday life, of course, it acquires a metaphorical meaning: “With this TV presenter at the same table it turns out to be a full shredder.”

Lamp: Tube comes from receivers with tube transmitters. This gave rise to a stable expression, which they began to apply everywhere. "Lamp restaurant", for example. Warm luminosity for modern people, not parting with the iPhone, it seems something particularly old. Then forget how it went. A hundred years later, someone wonders why the “tube” was used in this sense.

Govniya: “Well, that’s even wonderful. Like the name of a beautiful plant. Terry govnisia. It smells of Latin, the solemnity of offices,” says Tolstaya.

Tashcher: The one who drags (rus) and rushing.

Kripota: Obviously from English "creepy"- frightening, terrifying.

HYIP, high fever: HYIP - something fashionable. And a highpogeo is one who is too keen on hype.

Tyan, kun, kavayno: Japanese vocabulary, which entered the Russian language. Tyan is a girl, kun is a boy. Kavayno - something like "cute."

Diss: “I was reading an American detective story now. There are about black youth groups. They live in free houses and terrorize the population: drugs, weapons. So, they are all tied to this concept. To disrespect someone - show disrespect. Do not shake hands, put pressure, show superiority. “We apply this to rap,” Tolstaya explained.
