Correcting albums info I've found a member called pizdoss: http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=38024" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=38024 . This word means..., I doubt there is an English equivalent, but in Russian and Ukranian (he's from Ukraine) it is derivative from the word "c*nt". I hope mighty admins will explain him who he really is. ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

It's cheekily pejorative in my language as well.

Oh, it's similar in Polish too...

I find that rather interesting from a linguistic point of view. My wife does not like for me to use the c word but I would never use it as insult. Cunninglylinguistically.  I'm not sure how pizzdoss or whatever derives from that.

^ 1. To get the picture, imagine some nick with the "c word". 2. Ask Tony R what's in his PM. ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

^ I imagine the more accurate translation would be the p-word (rather than the coarser c-word) like the feline image in Slarti's signature. ------------- What? |

No, c-word is the closest translation. ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

What does the c word mean in your neck of the woods? Is it always derogatory or is it just slang for female genitalia? It can go both ways here. I would have no idea pizdoss is derogatory if I hadn't heard it here first and will be very careful not to use it in jest or otherwise if I should make it over there one day. I guess he should have picked santorum.  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

It's more like "c*nt" and rather offensive. ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why... (D. Gilmour) |

In that case his account and ratings should deleted without debate or argument. ------------- What? |

Perhaps you're right. Maybe not a complete ban (by IP), but leave him the possibility to register under normal nick. I guess he thought it's funny to have a "cool" nick, and nobody understands the meaning. It was very childish.

By the way, someone should send him a private message and suggest he change his name to Dixville Notch.

I'm really unable to suitably translate it into English slang, wiki offers http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pizdos" rel="nofollow - this , which works to some extent, except that you would have to think it in even more slick terms, like "cool as f*ck" or "I'd hit it (I'd hit me? )".I wouldn't deny it is coarse, it would indeed be injurious towards a regular audience and showy, brash if intentionally chosen as a username. -------------

I find this thread very amusing so let me, if I may, add my two cents to it. The word in question seems to be a (not very inventive) derivation of "pizda" (I'm omitting the
 stars only for demonstrative purposes), which I believe carries both of the above vulgar meanings in Russian (in my native language it is a vulgarism, but not that derogatory). |

^ It was only one swearword so far. Shall I post more examples?

I for one would like to encourage you to do so. Our English swear words are so worn out you know. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
