"to fuck / to screw"

A vulgar but non-мат verb for having sex. The original meaning is 'to hit/bang,' and the sexual sense developed by metaphorical extension — same as English 'bang.' It occupies a sweet spot: cruder than 'заниматься сексом' (have sex) but far milder than 'ебать' (fuck).

In conversation: 'Они трахаются' (They're screwing). In media: used because 'ебать' is literally illegal to broadcast.
