What does "пихливий нераспитоный моска" mean? Heard it on a TV show.
I have no guesses on "пихливий," but I would assume that the second two words are "невоспитанный москаль" -- meaning "a damned Rooskie who wasn't brought up properly."Quote:

ЗЗЫ: But, as far as I know, some Russians will use "москаль" in an ironically positive way -- similar to "Why, yes, I'm a black gay Jew, and if you have a problem with that, you are cordially invited to kiss my nigger-faggot-kike ass, thank you very much."
Puglivuy?
https://slovari.yandex.ru/%D0%BF%D0%...B8%D0%B9/uk-ru says it is ukranian form of "надменный", "высокомерный".
Ukraine->Russia, Belorussia->Russia = "москаль" (someone from "москва"-moscow), "кацап" ("цап" is ukranian "goat", "как цап"=someone ugly with beard. in ancient ukraine men shave face, leaving only topknot of hair)Quote:

Yes. Initially offensive it also become ironic. It is prohibited in official speech for example. Sort of slang.Quote:

It was usual to jokingly exclaim "хохлы пошли в атаку!" and laugh if some dispute arise from ukranian side and "москали совсем оборзели" from over side. Jokingly of course.

He says: "брехливая невоспитанная моська". :)
"брехливая" - "annoying barking" in this context
"невоспитанная" - "ill-mannered"
"моська" - "little dog"
This is reference to "Слон и моська" ("Elephant and little dog") fable by Krylov (Крылов): https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1...8C%D0%BA%D0%B0
