There are many wonderful things in the world, but surprises are pleasant and not very. Today we will analyze the meaning of the word "duck", it is, of course, in use, but it is better to use it as little as possible. The definition is rude, dissonant and meaningless. But all these characteristics will become clear only in the course of the story.
Meaning
Naturally, only "specific boys" use such words in their speech. Of course, not only bandits and mafiosi of the Russian spill, but also wonderful heroes-policemen and investigators. In general, the first association that arises when you see this word is the NTV channel. Because only it shows wonderful films about tough law enforcement officers who have not gone too far from the bandits in their methods. What can you say? Tough times call for tough measures. But the general tone of the expression, we think, is clear.
So, the meaning of the word "duck": pathetic, stupid, narrow-minded person. And even this meaning is slightly inaccurate. An attentive reader understands that the word itself is essentially meaningless.
Actuallydefinition is a tool for elevating one person over another. That is, one calls the other a jerk when he considers the opponent a jerk or not as good, cool and wonderful as himself. Thus, theoretically, a nerd can become a duck in the eyes of a bully or gopnik. Almost all such definitions are a question of the values of the conflicting parties.
Synonyms
Based on the understanding of the meaning of the word "duck", is it possible to conclude that any insult will go into action in this case? Yes, it's almost true. And yet the duty orders to provide the reader with a list, here it is:
- ushlepok;
- shock mark;
- goof;
- stupid;
- schmuck;
- loser;
- loser;
- moron;
- fool.
The first two definitions are simply "masterpieces". We think that few people will even answer the question of what they mean. Unless it remains to be assumed that both of them are euphemisms for a rougher word that the reader can easily calculate from them. And they, like the object of study, evoke associations with the environment of drug addicts. After all, a duck is very similar in sound to a junkie, in fact, like a ushlepok, but here is a different story. And ushmarok resembles the slang definition of a drug, that is, “shmali”. The rest, probably, do not need to be explained, they are all in use and well known. Now it is superfluous to explain what a duck is, the meaning of the word is clear as day.
Linguistic experiments
Maybe the reader will take the following liberty, or maybe it will amuse him. But here's what to think about. Some slang words, such as the one we are considering, are desperately empty of content. Now there will be a difficult thought: if a person is able to saturate with meaning, something that obviously does not have it, at least from the point of view of generally accepted language practice, then why not reformat known words and turn them into offensive curses. For example, we understand the meaning of the word "duck" and can pick up decent curses for it, which, in fact, are not. The reader will understand everything when an approximate list appears in front of him. Here it is:
- cigarette butt;
- core (for example, apple);
- cinder;
- small.
Do you understand the principle? If intonation and some harshness of sounds are important in swearing, then the above words are quite suitable for reformatting. Another thing is that it will sound a little funny. Imagine, a tough guy asks some of his ex-girlfriends: “What is this cinder with you?” Funny, is not it? Although all the words here deliberately end with "k" to emphasize the relationship with the object of study.
Our task is done. We analyzed the definition of "duck". The meaning and interpretation of the word gave us some pleasure, we hope the reader was satisfied with the result.
