There are a lot of unfamiliar words in Russian. Especially for a cultured person who communicates not with gopniks, but with intelligent people and far from slang expressions. Nevertheless, it is necessary to know what the opponent who uses slang words means. At least in order to have time to prepare for the release of aggression. Or adequately respond to a verbal attack. In particular, you need to imagine what a “chuvyrla” is: is it a compliment, a statement of fact or an insult? After all, in each scenario, the reaction should be appropriate.
Chuvyrla is a "collision"
The most common perception of the word is clearly negative. In the end, its very sound distorts the ear, so that instinctively every person perceives the term with rejection. And it is quite reasonable: according to the most common interpretation, chuvyrla is a disparaging characteristic denoting a terrible person.female. Sometimes it means not only an ugly appearance, but also general slovenliness or awkward behavior that constantly puts the bearer of the nickname in a stupid position.
So if you were called a chuvyrla, this is an occasion to think about your appearance and communication style. Or make sure that the name-caller treats you extremely badly and tries to hurt your pride in any way possible for him.
Positive interpretation
From time to time, amateur philologists try to give an optimistic coloring to the word "chuvyrla". The meaning changes dramatically, and I really want to believe the arguments. There is a version that chuvyrla is an abbreviation for the phrase "Wonderful you girl." The initial syllable is taken from the first word, the second enters the term completely, the last 3 letters come off the third.
There is another suggestion: the abbreviation is made up of the first syllables of the words "wonderful" and "outstanding", followed by the first letters from "rare" and "beloved", the letter "A" is added to indicate belonging to the female sex.
However, such linguistic "research" can be regarded, rather, as a proposal to ignore the brawlers. The unaesthetic sound continues to give the word a derogatory connotation.
No gender discrimination
If you think that only a lady of not the most attractive appearance can be called a chuvyrla, then you are mistaken. The term is also applicable to representatives of the strong half of humanity, only with a change in the ending - not “chuvyrla”, but"chuvyrlo". Moreover, in relation to a man, the meaning of the word changes somewhat. Rather, it means a weak-willed henpecked, a rag and an opportunist. Perhaps neglecting personal hygiene.
