ебанат is a highly vulgar Russian insult. It means “fucking idiot” or “asshole,” usually directed at someone considered extremely stupid, reckless, or annoying.
- Register: very offensive and profane; avoid it in polite, professional, or unfamiliar company.
- Related terms: идиот means “idiot” and is much less obscene; дебил means “moron” and is insulting; придурок means “jerk” or “idiot.”
- Background: it is a coarse slang formation built from an obscene Russian root. Its force is closer to an emphatic profanity than to a neutral description.
Examples:
- Он полный ебанат, если думает, что это сработает.
He is a complete fucking idiot if he thinks that will work.
- Какой же ебанат оставил машину посреди дороги?
What fucking idiot left the car in the middle of the road?
- Не будь ебанатом — проверь адрес перед отправкой.
Don’t be a fucking idiot—check the address before sending it.
- Этот ебанат снова забыл выключить плиту.
That fucking idiot forgot to turn off the stove again.
- Я повёл себя как ебанат и потерял билет.
I acted like a fucking idiot and lost the ticket.
