Shit, crap, rubbish. A highly common, vulgar noun used to describe faeces, a low-quality object, a terrible situation, or a despicable person. While it is inherently crude and belongs to the category of lower-colloquial obscenities, it is generally considered a step down in severity from the ultimate taboo tier of Russian mat (хуй, пизда, ебать, блядь). In everyday casual speech, it is frequently used as a general exclamation of frustration or disappointment (e.g., Вот дерьмо! — “Oh, shit!”).
— Вся эта водка — дерьмо, — мрачно заявил полковник.
— All this vodka is shit, gloomily said the colonel.
(Сергей Михайлов, Далекие огни)
