tip your landlord

(English, verb) - A sardonically sarcastic verb towards landlords - often times the well off individuals that own public housing such as apartment buildings and townhouses as financial and profit-accruing assets in places they do not reside in - and a verb indicating solitude and sometimes disgust towards their tenants that are being increasingly exploited by the housing market, through means of forcing them to pay more to stay in the areas they live in.

During the heated debate about rising rents in the city, Sarah couldn't help but retort using an egregiously sardonic comment, telling those to "tip your landlord", indicating that landlords often care more about their profits more than the well-being of their tenants, and that those who live under them should keep giving more to force them to suffer under their own irresponsible decision making.

bac u kry

(Albanian, sentence) - An Albanian phrase with cultural and historical significance often used by Albanians. It denotes the declaration of Kosovo's partially-recognized independence on February 17th, 2008.

In this slogan, "bac" translates to "uncle" in Albanian, and it is commonly associated with the late Kosovo-Albanian guerrilla fighter Fazli (Adem) Jashari, one of the key figures of the Kosovo Liberation Army. He was killed in 1998 along with the majority of his family during a Serbian police raid in the village of Prekaz, in the Drenica region.

During the independence celebration, participants prominently showcase banners featuring the slogan "bac u kry" as a symbolic expression of unity and remembrance. As speakers address the crowd, narrating the historical struggle for independence, the phrase gains prominence as a chant resonating through the event venue. It functions as a unifying element, symbolizing collective determination for freedom and commemorating individuals who played a role in the events leading to Kosovo's independence. In this context, the phrase serves as a shared expression of resilience and commitment to the ideals represented by the declaration of independence.

balkans

(Turkish or Persian, n.) The Balkans is geopolitical region that is within southeastern Europe. Within the region's several countries, there is a total of 55,000,000 people (if we are counting the Greek Islands), or 32,000,000 people within the region's peninsula.

The term "balkans" originally came from the Persian "balk", which means mud, and the Turkish suffix "kan" which is a swampy forest. However, in modern Turkish, the word "balkan" means "a chain of wooded mountains".

A home to a wide variety of cultures, countries, and consistently useless and pointless wars, the region is well known for its exportation of competent individuals with slightly nationalistic tendencies, exceptionally strong liquor, (apparently) good wine, very tasty but fat-inducing cuisinery, gästarbeiters for Western countries, and the term known as "balkanization", which is a pejorative term for the fragmentation of a larger region or state into smaller regions or states that are often hostile or uncooperative with each other because of pointless differences.

The region contains the Adriatic, Ionian, Aegean, and Mediterranean seas, the Dinaric and Albanian Alps, and certain places that are either popular with tourists or underrated. The highest peak in the Balkans is Mt. Musala, and the Balkans is home to various amounts of flora and fauna.

yeah, no matter how much i don't want to admit it because it's a piece of shit, i'm from the balkans

poturica

(Serbo-Croatian, n.) This is an extremely offensive word towards Muslims that are native to the Balkans, in a rough translation it means "turkified" or to "turn into a little turk".

Primarily used by Serbs and to a lesser extent Croats, this word has historical connotations to the Ottoman campaign in the Balkans where they held the region for roughly 500-600 years. During this time, many have converted to Islam and have been given prominence in Ottoman society and well-paying job opportunities, hence to "turn into little turks". To the Christians of the region, they see this as "betraying their forefathers who have rejected Christ and converted to Islam becauss they wouldve been killed for not doing so", even though there are various for the highly reported coversions in the region such as being persecuted by Serbs/Croats/other Christian-dominated groups, or merely due to land ownership opportunities.

Normally, this word could be used against Bosnians, Albanians, and Torbeš Macedonians.

The plural for this word is "poturice", a group of Muslims.

#1: "taj glupi budalo skroz tamo je poturica, vidiš ga kako izlazi iz džamije?"
#2: "ne, nisam ga vidio"
