Degradant is what? Meaning and synonyms

Perhaps, for the first time it is necessary to write about a word, in the existence of which people doubt. On the one hand, it's scary to be a little pioneer, on the other hand - it's honorable. And in the area of our special attention is the word "degrader". This is his suspicion in the absence. We will understand the mystery of being or non-being of a concept, and in passing we will find out the meaning and synonyms.

Definition

Let's start with what is known. There is a noun "degradation". It means a transition to a simpler state in comparison with what it was. When the body progresses, it becomes more complicated, when it degrades - it becomes simpler. Therefore, we define the concept as follows: a degradant is a person with a poor emotional spectrum, with a narrow intellectual horizon and a predominance of physical needs over spiritual ones. They were frightened, were not they?

Explicit cases of social degradation

In fact, everything is simple. Under the tricky word usually hide either alcoholics or drug addicts. All characteristics, data in the definition, they are present. Their life is simple and limited by one concern - to get a dose. Such people immediately notice, they stand out in the crowd (this is not a compliment). It turns out that the question of whether a degradant is someone is an easy answer to find. To understand everything, you need to take a closer look at others when you go to work. Rapidly simplified on duty at stores selling alcohol, waiting for the "good Samaritan", who pours them "for so." But people, as a rule, prefer not to look at the wrong side of life, why worry yourself?

Time to move on to those definitions that may take the place of the word "degrader". Synonyms for him to pick up quite easily.

Word-replacements

When the meaning of the word "degrader" is no longer a mystery with seven seals, you can detail the information and consider its language counterparts:

• degenerate;
• Degenerate;
• alcoholic;
• Addict;
• bully;
• Gopnik.

As you can see, the list contains only insulting words or those that make you sad. For example, if you say to a person who drinks less than once a week, that he is an alcoholic, then this is an insult, and if you try so hard to call a real man with addiction, it's already sad. The same goes for the drug addict. The word "degenerate" is not accidental first in the list, because it is with him that our today's object of study is confused. And, as it turned out, they are not in vain confused, because they are synonyms. But the "degenerate" is known to everyone, the "degrader" is almost none. That's why the question arises, is there a word "degrader"?

Colloquial. Gopnik, degenerate and degradant

When people use the word "degradation", it is usually not addressed to drug addicts and alcoholics in its pure form, especially when the disease has already disconnected patients with addictions from social space.

This word is abusive and directed against hooligans, and more specifically, Gopnik. Of course, those who grew up in the 90s of the 20th century in Russia, do not need to explain the meaning of the word, and the rest will be curious. First list, then comments:

• The same as a bully, a street robber.
• A little-educated guy who wears a tracksuit, consumes hot drinks, aggressive.
• The outdated version of the words "homeless", "vagabond", "
• Living in the gopa. Gop - a flophouse in Leningrad in the early 20th century. The largest at that time, of course, there was going to be the whole "color of the nation".
• In 1904-1918 in Leningrad they called this poorly dressed man.
• In the same period of time, they spoke of a petty thief who trades in the market.

As we see, and for those who are well acquainted with personal experience with the subculture, the meaning of the word "Gopnik" hides in itself a lot of interesting things. True, this applies only to the historical meanings of the concept, which are now obsolete.

Returning to the conversation about the "degradation", it is worth saying that its analogs did not mean anything ever good. This is how social lower classes were named in all their diversity.

Is it worth using the derivative of the noun "degradation" in speech?

The answer, of course, is negative. The word "degrader" sounds strange. As if something is missing in it. There is some kind of understatement in the term. Sometimes, it seems that people who swear in this way are just afraid to say the definition of "degenerate", because they consider it too rude, almost unprintable, but the degrader is such an intellectual compromise: he seems to say muck, but at the same time not too much Frank. There is a way out - to refrain from criticizing others and, if possible, not to swear at all, and if it's unbearable, then use classical samples. But, of course, this is a matter of taste, do not think bad.
