baraban
An idiomatic expression used to indicate complete indifference, total lack of interest, or irrelevance regarding a situation, opinion, or consequence. Borrowed from Russian барабан (“drum”), via the expression «мне по барабану» (“it’s all the same to me / I don’t care”), and adapted in colloquial Moldovan speech. Figurative meaning: “don’t care,” “doesn’t matter at all,” “irrelevant to me.”.
soska
a woman whose appearance is characterized by exaggerated cosmetic enhancements such as oversized lips, heavy makeup, and artificial features, often resembling the stereotypical image of a sex worker. The term refers exclusively to women and is typically used in a mocking or dismissive way, especially to criticize or shame women perceived as guilty of something, highlighting both their artificial appearance and supposed moral failing.
Petlyura
In Russian slang or Soviet-era speech, calling someone “Петлюра” could mean one of the following, depending on tone and context: “Ukrainian nationalist” - used pejoratively by Soviet or pro-Russian speakers, meaning someone anti-Russian, pro-Ukrainian, or “banderovets-type” (similar to calling someone “Banderite”).
“Traitor / enemy” - especially used in Soviet propaganda to label Petlyura as a “traitor of the working people” or “enemy of the USSR.” Sometimes just a mocking nickname for Ukrainians in general, especially in derogatory or racist speech (similar to saying “those Petlyuras” to mean “those Ukrainians”).
So, it’s not a curse word in itself (no obscenity), but it can definitely be used as an insult implying “Ukrainian nationalist, anti-Russian, fascist,” etc.
