Thread: Meaning of : у меня что то жопка со своим

Sorry I initially posted this in the "How do you Say... in Russian?" thread ... wrong location obviously

Trying to make sense of a chat conversation and am unable to understand the following : у меня что то жопка со своим.

Translation bots make no sense of this.
I can get the meaning of pretty much each word individually except for the word "жопка".

All of the bot translators spit out nonsense.

Coming up with stuff like : "I have something zhopka with his".
This makes no sense at all to me.

All help is appreciated.
Thanks !

Without the context, it’s hard to tell exactly what it means.
Possibly, it means something like “For some reason, I’m in a difficult situation with my boyfriend/husband”.

Actually that makes perfect sense )). Thank you !!

What was the translationbot doing ???
Is this some play of words or an expression that's very difficult to translate ?

Thanks again !

жопка is diminutive of жопа ‘ass’.
у меня жопа means ‘I’m in a difficult situation’ / ‘I’m in deep shit’.
у меня жопка is not common. It is an occasionalism. Maybe, it implies a not-so-deep shit, or, maybe, the author wanted to soften the rude word.
что-то (literally, ‘something’) means ‘for some reason’ in colloquial speech.
со своим ‘with mine’ usually implies meaning ‘with my boyfriend’ or ‘with my husband’.

Aha.

Perfect !!! Thank you so much !

Russian language extensively uses omitting of words if they can be restored from context. Sophisticated system of prefixes/suffixes/endings allows this a lot. They work like markers which help to understand place and role of the omitted words.
So, if you were talking about trucks she meant one of hers.

Thanks for the info Alex80 ! I've been studying Russian only recently so I've got a long way to go ^_^

Vocabulary-wise I'm doing pretty good and having a few Russian friends certainly gives me some practice
It's grammar that's giving me a hard time but I hope to get there eventually.

We weren't talking about trucks XD ... the discussion was about the boyfriend so @Soft Sign's explanation was spot on !!

The translation bots didn't help me at all in this case.

Thanks again to the both of you for your help !
Cheers !
