ESTONIAN: Tibla... ‡
‡) “Homo Sovietus...”
/
“[Motherfuckin’] Russian...” Etym., Russ., витебляне =
immigrants from Russ. city of Віцебск
/Vitebsk. NOTE: considered
really insulting, in light of the Soviet
treatment of Estonia. Also, Russ. term
& loan word, ты бля... — T’y blja... = You
whore..., truly insulting when directed
at strangers, whereas with friends it’s
just another bit of ball-busting japery...
