Is Zhupa an insult or a compliment?

Zhupa is a word that should be offended. If it, of course, was pronounced in your address. But nevertheless, in 99% of cases it is used in an abstract sense, without reference to any person. What is this term and where did it come from today's slang speech?

Where did the word "zhupa" come from?

The source of the appearance of the word "zhupa" is a film. In the Russian box office it is called "Prostoshka". But the original name in English differs - The Duff. Search for this word in translators is not worth it, because it was transformed into a Russian analogue of "zhup".

The main characters of the teenage comedy are three girlfriends. Two of them seemed to have come off the covers of glossy magazines. But the third "does not hold out" to their level, which is visible to any naked eye. Bianca could be good on her own. But against the background of her long-legged childhood girlfriends with perfect faces and hairstyles, the girl is simply lost.

Whoever said anything about female friendship, everything was fine, until the guy appeared. Wesley is a neighbor and classmate of Bianchi, a classic cute hero of American teen films. It is he who points out to the heroine that she lives in the shadow of her beautiful childhood friends. And it is Wesley who uses the word "zhupa". This produces a terrible effect on Bianca.

The girl analyzes her life and understands that the handsome man is absolutely right. In a rage, a girl breaks up relations with her friends, after which she is covered with depression.

The meaning of the word "zhupa" in the film "The Simpleton"

Have you guessed what a zhopa is? By the way, the original version of the word implies a completely different interpretation. English Duff can be translated as "something fake, of poor quality." But the Russian translators came up with their own version: ZhUPa is a fat, ugly girlfriend. Here is such an unpleasant transcript and the nickname of the heroine of the film "The Simpleton".

In fact, it's no secret that in a couple of girlfriends one is often considered more beautiful than the other. Even if the girls themselves refuse to admit this. There are even jokes on this topic: "to look better on the beach, fatten your best friend and take her with you." Perhaps, because of the topicality of the topic, the term has become so widespread, and the film - its share of popularity.

Has JUPP turned into a beautiful swan?

Films - they are for that and films, to contain an element of fiction, which can not really meet in real life. So it happened in "Simpleton".

ZHUPa Bianca is angry at everyone around, and especially at the handsome who opened her eyes. But the girl has the character of a fighter and is not going to give up. She turns to her neighbor with a request to make her candy. First, out of profit and curiosity, and then for entirely different reasons, Wesley does not deny her. He teaches Bianca to chat with the boys on various topics, what and how to do on dates, helps her to be liberated. And, as often happens in these films, the characters fall in love with each other.

Perhaps, the ending still should be kept a secret for those who could be inspired by the history and want to see this very film.

And his main morality is clear: ZhPO is not a verdict. Moreover, one must be able to love oneself and accept what we are. Because all the complexes, in fact, are concentrated only in our head.

Why was the word "zhopa" so spread?

If you remember the school as a paradise and the source of wonderful memories for life you are very lucky. Most people can still recall the division of the class into groups, squabbles and intrigues. Someone was not even particularly lucky, and they at one time "tried on" the role of ZhMU for themselves.

For certain that is why the word has become so widespread. The film "Prostoshka" allows not only to laugh and take time to watch, but also to think about some important questions. For example, about the love of self.

Although the plot of the film is definitely far from real life, and many things are exaggerated, the conclusions he allows to make quite everyday. After all, the one who will examine it to the end, learns that Bianca's confusion and resentment towards her friends did not make sense. And she still got her happy-end, let someone there by the eyes and consider her as ZhUPoi.

Although now in most cases the word is used precisely in the described sense, "zhupa" has other meanings. For example, the southern Slavs just so called the administrative district. And the zhupy used to be called "mines".

So, if you heard this term, do not rush to laugh. Perhaps, we are talking about quite serious things, far from teenage problems and grievances.
