Regarding my story, while I was searching for a direct parallel to "spank", it would work just as well, I suppose, to have Yakusheva (the soldier who owns the rocket) paint over "SPNKr" with "ХЛЫСТ", and say something to the effect that it's a better nickname as explanation. How would you all suggest the character explain it (in English) to an American soldier?

With what's on the rocket launcher, it doesn't reference a rocket being destructive, or even that it shoots explosives. "SPNKr" (Spanker) is more or less a joke. To try and explain it, it's that you "spanked" the enemy. It's why I'm trying to find words for "spank", "slap", or some similar such words.
0 votedSeptember 15, 20180- Needing advice on a word - "Spanker" or "One who spanks" In the Halo Universe (video game), of which a story I'm writing takes place, the rocket launchers are painted with the word "SPNKr", which is commonly read as "Spanker". I couldn't tell you why. For my story, the character who's using the rocket launcher is Russian, and so I've had her paint over "SPNKr" with a Russian word, but I want to make sure I'm using the right one. Right now, I have that word as "ШЛЕПОК", which I think means "spank" or the general action of spanking. Would that be a good parallel for "spanker"? I've also come across the word "рысак"; would that be better?September 15, 2018112
- Casual Greetings In this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEb-S-U01mQ&feature=youtu.be) Masha of Arkona says a greeting, and then I assume "my friends." As best I can tell, the greeting is "Zdravye." I've asked my Russian step-aunt and she confirmed that it's modern Russian, but simply left it at being a greeting. Would anyone here be able to expand upon what exactly it is being said? Such as the root word, literal meaning, and possible conjugations?July 4, 201330
- What does "Зимушка" mean? This is somewhat of a big question, with an important plan from it. Зимушка is the title of an Arkona song, and I have seen it translated as "Winter." Yet the lyrics do say "Зимушка-Зима," using the usual word for winter that I've encountered. However, I really like the sound of Зимушка, and plan on giving that name to my sword, as I received it in the winter. Does it mean "winter" or is it a specific type of winter, perhaps describing a very harsh winter?May 20, 201370
- What does "Гой" mean? The best example that I can find of this is the Аркона song "Гой, Роде, Гой" in which Rod is the Slavic God of the Universe. I have heard that it is a hailing, and the song is generally translated as "Hail, Rod, Hail" but I have also heard that it is a simple expression such as "Oy" or "Ugh."May 15, 2013111
