Equal Opportunity: Estonian Style

The abusive derogatory term for Russians in Estonian is tibla. The etymology of it simple, the word derives from Russian ty bliad’ — you whore! — that is how Soviet soldiers addressed captured Nazis. Captured Estonian Nazis hearing themselves being addressed in that manner and their descendants adopted the word and with time it also got phonetically corrupted. Even in the late 1990s the word was a taboo with negative connotations and greater unacceptability for polite speech than is the word nigger in modern American English. In the late 1990s and early 2000s Estonian nationalist politicians and the press started to use the word freely and it acquired an additional deeply offensive racial meaning. For speakers of American English its’ closest equivalent is indeed nigger .Under protection of NATO and EU, and with full backing of the United States Estonian democracy flourished.
