Usage of socha

A socha is a plant considered to be undesirable in a particular environment. Just like a “weed”, a socha grows where it is not wanted and often in competition with cultivated plants. While the term "weed" generally has a negative connotation, many plants known as weeds have beneficial qualities (e.g. nutritional, medicinal, environmental, aesthetic) and can be called sochas.

Origin of socha

Ubykh Soatshe (noun), Spanish Nolana Sedifolia (Sosa/Hierba de la lombriz/Sosa brava) (noun), Spanish Sosa (noun), Portuguese and Galician Sousa (noun), Sosah (noun) of unknown origin; related to English Weed (noun)

History of socha

This usage of the word can be traced back to New York City in the early 2000s. The term was initially used to describe the wild plants found growing through the cracks of the city’s concrete sidewalks and around sewer drains. Since then, the expression has evolved to include most plants growing in surprising or unfavorable places and to symbolize perseverance (i.e. life finding a way).

*Disclaimer*

Sochas are equal opportunity growers and do not discriminate on the basis of temperature, light, water, oxygen, mineral content or insect species.
“There’s a beautiful socha right down the street.”

“How did this socha grow through all of that concrete?”

Sochi Stink 

The Sochi Stink is the ripe, pungent emission of foul, human body odor of athletes and visitors at the Sochi Olympic Games. The Sochi Stink is developed over the course of up to 17 days (the length of the Olympic Games) and directly from the refusal to take a shower or bath in the hotels in the Russian city of Sochi during the 2014 Winter Olympic games due to the Russian Government's deployment of hidden cameras to monitor and watch activities in hotel showers.

Deployment of the Russian shower cameras at the 2014 Sochi Olympics was inadvertently disclosed when Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak was asked about conditions in hotels and the lack of water, the subjects of ongoing media criticism.
US Team Coach: Already everybody, great practice today. Let's hit the showers.
US Team Captain: F*** that! The Russians are watching the hotel showers on camera!
US Team Coach: Really? What are we going to do about bathing after practice and the competitions?
Us Team Captain: Nothing. We will just have to live with the Sochi Stink till we get stateside after the games.
US Teach Coach: Should be a ripe flight home!

Sochnose 

a stupid, idiotic spack with no regard for anything.
Sochnose is mainly used as an insult (see below)
it is derived from the word Soch (made up word, used to replace the word sock) and nose (sniffing device implanted on the face)
The word 'Soch' can also be used on its own as an insult, and replaces the overused 'Fuck' quite nicely. (see below)
"iain, you fucking Sochnose! stop ass-raping me!"
"OH SOCH! OLIE YOU SOCHING SOCH! IM GONNA SOCHING WELL SOCH YOU UP!!"
