    I think you mean "сволочь".

    As a noun, it's "scum."
    As a verb, it's the perfective form of "trail (sth.)"

    The origin of this word is rather interesting. Сволочью was named junk in peasant's houses that was gathered together (сволакивался) by a broom.
    Единственное, что люди любят давать бесплатно - это советы.

    That is interesting. Now I guess it's very obvious why it's NOT a compliment! Thanks!
