Street thugs, chavs, hoodlums. Сollective noun used to describe a specific socio-cultural subculture of aggressive, poorly educated, working-class street youths typically characterized by tracksuits, flat caps, a distinct squatting posture, and involvement in petty crime or intimidation (вся местная гопота собирается по вечерам у района — “all the local punks gather around the neighborhood in the evenings”).
nic_aaL: Айпад поменял слово «гопота» на «господа». Какой он у меня вежливый! Прямо петербуржец :)
nic_aaL: The Ipad changed the word “scum” to “gentlemen”. How polite he is! Just like someone from St. Petersburg :)
