Mudak

pr-nunciation: mu̇d-ˌäk

a russian swear word meaning an -sshole, but never a smart -sshole. someone so arrogant that he doesn’t even understand what a d-ckhead he is.

what makes this word unique – it is strictly masculine, which is not typical for the russian profanity. you can even call a man pizda (c-nt); but you never could say “she’s a mudak”. neither you can form the feminine gender of the noun, like for the similar word durak (fool) – dura (feminine for durak). no way. so it’s always a “dumb pr-ck” but never a “dumb c-nt”.

of course, “mudak” is an offensive word, but not as offensive as a pidar (f-ggot) or even a kozel (goat). your -ss would not necessarily get kicked for the use of it (it’s still possible though). some people even call themselves mudaks with some degree of vanity; e.g. the most renowned blogger of the russian web is pretty comfortable with a nickname tupoi mudak (a kind of redundancy here, i.e. the dumbest dumb jerk).

(noun) moo-dak
russian – vulgar slang

1. (said of a man) a despicable, contemptuous moron (esp. someone whose behaviour bothers, or ruins something for someone else).

2. (said of the nomenklatura) a imbecilic jerk, a feeble-minded buffoon

usage note: as with other russian words on the more vulgar scale, this word is used only by men, to refer to other men. extra caution should be observed where the use of this word is concerned; while it is unlikely to draw more than a sn-gg-r in moscow, it’s use in less urbanised locales, or those with a muslim majority, may provoke a potentially lethal reaction.
