This is straight from Russian: "Blatt" is
slang for a hooker. It is also a very insulting curse word, regardless of it'
s meaning, and a word that is used to express frustration or anger (much like "Fuck" in English). Since it'
s use is so common by some who speak Russian, it became very popular and common in Hebrew slang as well, for the same reasons described under Gandon.
"Blatt! I can't open this
box..."
"Blatt! He won't answer the
phone!"
"And then Blatt I went to the store Blatt and told the clerk Blatt give me Blatt the goddamn chewing
gum Blatt!!"
