Thread: Teach me some Russian slang

Oxygent, добро пожаловать к нам!

Спасибо

Подкаблучник = Человек, который поклоняется подруге или жене

"Поклоняться" means "to worship", so it's more suitable for gods or idols. More accurate meaning is "мужчина, который подчиняется женщине в их отношениях". I guess the English analogue is "wife-dominated".

Thanks for the word Oxygent, I was wondering what the correct word would be ... I'm aware that Поклоняться is usually used in those contexts, but it was the only word I knew for something similar to "bow down to", which is something I'd say in English "A guy who bows down to his girlfriend or wife."
