уёбок

Meaning

Уёбок is a highly vulgar Russian insult for a contemptible, stupid, or unpleasant person. Depending on tone and context, it can mean “asshole,” “jerk,” “fuckhead,” or “piece of shit.” It is strongly offensive, so avoid using it in polite, professional, or unfamiliar company.

Usage and context

It is usually directed at a man, although it can be used more broadly as an insult. The related feminine form is уёбина, though usage varies.

Etymology

The word is derived from the Russian obscene verb уебать / ёбнуть, from the Slavic profanity root ёб-, historically connected with sexual language. Its modern use is chiefly insulting rather than literal.
