I wonder which terms Slovenian use to call "very very weak players".
Russian mainly call such player "LOPUH" or "ČAJNIK".

Of course I mention censored words Smile

It is slang. In the Russian-English dictionary you will find only the following meanings of those words:

"Čajnik" = teapot
"Lopuh" = burdock.

It's interesting which non-formal words Slovenian use in such case.

I dont think there is such a word, at least I cant remember any and I've given this about five minutes of thought Very Happy Razz

We probably wouldnt use a noun..maybe something similar to 'he stinks' 'zanič je' or something like that?!
Now even I am curious if there is any noun in our language for this????? lol Wink

Maybe my explanation was not enough clear.

"Čajnik" is a beginner or a player who has poor progress in a game (or in any other field).

"Lopuh" (eng. burdock) is a player (or a man) who can
be easily cheated (easily beaten). "Lopuh" is close to another russian
word "prostak" (eng. simpleton) by meaning.

BTW, how to translate "burdock" to Slovenian? Smile

Maybe "zelenec" - greenhorn or "naivnež" - naive.

All was clear.
In my post "Čajnik" was just a signature.
Wink

I don't think we use any slang word for that, we're too polite Wink . But there exists a nice one, from an old movie Kekec, where the boy said to another one:
Quote:
Rožle, ti s' cepec!

"Cepec" is actually a tool farmers used to beat wheat to get the seeds out ("flail" in the Slovenian - English dictionary). But in slang it is a word that means a stupid person.

Hmmmm. perhaps ... "bogi" (Poor) or. "butl" (stupit - but on the "nice" way. If stupit can be on nice way at all?) Cool

LOL
But this word is more applicable to guys.

OK. My conclusion is that the word "Čajnik" can be used
Slovenians too. By the way, how many "Čajnik"s (in percentage)
play at this server? (to je šala) Wink What do you think?

"Lopuh" is absent in Slovenian (lapuh nie jest repinec).
However, you've named many words which can be used instead of it:
naivnež, bedak, butl, cepec.

Well, another "important" question Smile
How to say "Grand Master"?

Russians use the word "Monstr" as a rule.

These words are very rude, I hope noone uses them as a joke since they don't have anything funny in them and are never used in a funny situations.
