шалава

шалава f [šalava]

Slut, whore, tramp. Derogatory slang noun used to brand a woman as loose, promiscuous, or sexually unprincipled. Its etymological roots trace back to dialectal terms meaning a restless wanderer or a loafer, but in contemporary vulgar speech, it serves almost exclusively as a harsh insult targeting a woman’s perceived promiscuity. While incredibly offensive, it carries a slightly less aggressive, more colloquial weight than the supreme obscene term блядь.

Все шалавы в нашем классе
Целый день пиздят о Васе.
Говорят все, что у нас
Вася Пупкин пидарас.

All the sluts in our class
Chatter all day about Vasya.
Everyone says that in our class
Vasya Pupkin is a faggot.
