pezevenk
What does “pezevenk” mean in English?
It's a strong personal insult similar to calling someone a bastard or scoundrel. While it literally means 'pimp', it's often used in a non-literal sense to demean someone.
Literally “pimp”
You'd use it as a direct insult, much like calling someone a prick or a wanker in English. It's quite harsh, so expect it to carry significant weight in a conversation.

Swear Atlas is a source-attested, AI-curated reference — not a native-speaker-certified dictionary. Meanings and the 1–5 Burn Rating are approximate editorial assessments that vary with context, region, tone and speaker. Inclusion of a word does not constitute endorsement of its use.
The literal gloss is a short editorial translation to show word-for-word sense, not an etymological claim.
“Sounds like” is an English-friendly approximation of how the word sounds, not an authoritative pronunciation. Where shown, the romanisation is a conventional Latin-script transliteration of the original spelling.
