    Hmmm... what's the correct noun for the verb "сп**дить"?)))) Google only gives 7 hits for "сп**дение", which seems to me the most logical guess.

    In English, you can say "a bastardization", but somehow I think it lacks the power of the Russian word.

    P.S. I'm only joking, and mean no disrespect to Айболит!

    It seems that there is no noun derived from this verb.
