That's if he hasn't been sacked by then.

 

Who's the fattest - Bruce or The Slut?

 

Is anyone else already bored by calling him Slut, it's worn thin with me very quickly.

 

It's a diminutive of his name, not sure what's boring about it? It's like Jak, Elmo, Robbo, Hudd, etc.

 

In Slavic languages the bit on the end often means son of, as in this case Slutski son of Slut.

 

Desperate for another tit for tat?

Meh.

 

Calling me a derogatory term is incredibly unnecessary.

No one had issue with calling a former German striker a slang for a prostitute.

Considering the Slut has laughed it off something tells me he doesn't care.

 

Ah the beauty of languages, slut in English does mean an easy woman but if you was to say the word to a Russian they would have no idea what you're talking about unless they know English of course. There is of course a word in Russian for an easy woman шлюха which would be pronounced something like shlyuka.

Of the others mentioned earlier in the thread who get their name shortened, I can only see Jak causing a minor misunderstanding if he was to be substituted during a game, as in Jak off but he wouldn't get it because his name is pronounced Yakupovich.

 

What's slutsky mean in Russian then Balkan?

 

Only with the aid of google, there is a town called Slutsk in what is now Belarus which was a Jewish settlement so it seems most likely to mean a person descended from there.

 

I came on this thread to read about people moaning about already having their hotels and trains booked , not to read all this educational mumbo jumbo

 

In Russian it's the patronymic (middle name) that tells you who they're a son of, not -ski.

That's why they often refer to each other as first name + patronymic, like Slutsky refers to Abramovich as Roman Arkadyevich.

 

I did say in Slavic languages as a general group thing. I only spent 3 months in Russia and what was funny at the time I was using a form of Serbo-Croat which the Russians couldn't understand by my Ukrainian assistant did, so he was translating. When In Slovenia everyone thought I was from Bosnia, but when in Serbia people ask if I am from the area where Serbia, Bulgaria and Macedonia all meet.

The bit below shows how all the Slavic languages are similar but not the same.

An example using an occupation is koval or kowal, which means blacksmith. It is the root of the names Kowalsky, Kowalchuk, Kowalczyk, Kovalenko, Kovalyov, and Kovalev. All mean "descendant of a blacksmith".

The given name Petr or Petro (equivalent to Peter) can become Petrov, Petriv, Petriw, Petrovsky, Petrovich, and Petric. All mean "descendant of Peter". This is similar to the use of "-son" or "-sen" in Germanic languages.

In East Slavic languages (Belarusian, Russian, Rusyn, and Ukrainian) the same system of name suffixes can be used to express several meanings. One of the most common is the patronymic. Instead of a secondary "middle" given name, people identify themselves with their given and family name and patronymic, a name based on their father's given name. If a man gives his full name as Boris Vladimirovich Kuznetsov, then his father's name must have been Vladimir: Vladimirovich in this case literally means "Vladimir's son".

 

Useful to know...maybe

 

Ever thought about buying yourself a mirror you hypocrite ?

"Desperate for another tit for tat?

Meh."
