чмо

Bloke, unimportant individual, idiot. Plural: чмара. Probably loaned from Yiddish שמאָק (shmok), just as American slang schmo. Sometimes interpreted as the initials of человек московской области (person from the Moscow region), that Moscow residents look down upon.

я тупое чмо… в понедельник иду на пересдачу…

I’m a stupid git… on Monday I must retake the exam…

Кудряш чмо!!! (“Kudryash is a shmuck”),
Graffiti in Moscow, podkolokolnij per. (Jan. 2008)

Mobilised soldier, forced conscript from the partial mobilisation (частичная мобилизация). Also combines чмо and мобик.

Боевое слаживание по-русски, это когда они ЧМОбик достает бояру, а другой ЧМОбик достаёт стаканы.

Russian-style combat cohesion is when one mobilised scum pulls out the bottle and the other mobilised scum pulls out the glasses.

To kiss (derived from чмок, an kissing onomatopoeia). Affectionate, and completely clean term for giving casual, non-passionate kisses, whether as a greeting between close friends or a sweet gesture between partners.

Мне кажется, что чмокаться это не для меня, да и вообще это не гигиенично.

I believe that kissing isn’t for me, yes, and it is truly unhygienic.

To insult, offend, bully. Sometimes altered to чмарить. Used to describe continuous psychological or social pressure exerted by a group or an individual on a weaker target (в новой школе его все начали чморить — “everyone started picking on him at the new school”).

Даги больше не будут чморить русских солдат.

Dagestani will no longer debase Russian soldiers.

Pathetic, loser-like, wretched, sucky, lame, skanky. Derived from the highly popular Soviet/Russian slang acronym чмо. Common pejorative adjective used to describe someone or something that is pathetic, miserable, contemptible, or of extremely low quality. It can apply to a person’s character (он повёл себя как-то чмошно — “he acted in a really pathetic/loser-like way”) as well as to objects, places, or appearances (что это за чмошная куртка? — “what kind of a lame/trashy jacket is that?”).

Чмошный карлик Димон опять таблетки не принял и понесло шизоида. Димон, ты пустобрех, встретились бы мы — прилетело бы тебе больно ;)

The despicable midget Dimon didn’t take his pills again and got schizoid. Dimon, you’re an empty-head, if we’d met, you’d get badly hurt ;)
