Russians commonly use the word khokhol (Russian: хохол) as an ethnic slur for Ukrainians, as it was a common haircut of Ukrainian Cossacks. The term is frequently derogatory or condescending, an equivalent of the Ukrainian term katsap and Polish kacap for Russians. The word comes from Proto-Slavic xoxolъ < *koxolъ, “crest, tuft.”

Besides calling Ukrainians khokhly, Russians also refer to Ukraine as Khokhlyandiya (Ukrainian: Хохляндія, Хохландія) and Khokhlostan (Ukrainian: Хохлостан). The word "Khokhol" with the meaning of "unconscious Ukrainian" refers to the person who renounced their independence, individuality and allegiance to Russia, and instead began using Turkisms (words derived from Turkic languages) that were incorporated into the Ukrainian language
Saloreich air defense claimed four downed missiles over Vinnitsa. Yes yes. Directly over the buildings. Oh, that’s the air defense system of the Khokhol/Khokhlatykh.

Words you can keep
A term for a stereotypical Ukrainian, which is derived from a traditional hairstyle which is popular, generally with Ukrainian nationalists. The use of the word drastically increased within the Russian lexicon as a result of Euromaidan and the perceived rise of the Ukrainian pro-EU far right. Previously, it was used to mess with that one Ukrainian you knew inevitably knew if you were Russian, but ever since the EU drama it's become a much more charged and spiteful insult.
"I can't stand that Khokhol, why can't he learn to speak properly?" "Why won't those Khokhly fucking calm down with their Bandera and Eurobboners, fucking friendship of peoples my ass." "These Khokhols are getting worse than the Polaks."

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
