Etymology

From Russian укро́п (ukróp, dill plant; Ukrainian person (pejorative)), used in Russian slang due to the word's similarity to Украи́на (Ukraína, Ukraine).

  1. (derogatory, offensive, ethnic slur, Internet slang, uncommon) A Ukrainian person.
    Synonym: (ethnic slur) khokhol
    The troll wasted many hours calling other users "ukrops" simply because they were Ukrainians.

Usage notes

  • Like the slur "khokhol", this slur was popularized in 2022 by online supporters of Putin and Russian nationalists during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It is used especially to refer to Ukrainians who oppose the Russian invasion of their country, more often towards soldiers in the battlefield or pro-Ukrainian Internet users.
