01
"beast / swine / brute"
Literally 'livestock,' used to call someone an animal — not in the cool way, but in the 'you have no human decency' way. A скотина behaves without moral consideration, like an animal following base instincts. It's a dehumanizing insult that strips away any pretense of civilized behavior.
Examples in the Wild
When someone behaves with callous disregard for others: 'Ты скотина' (You're an animal). Often heard in family arguments.
