There are 15 words for "rude" in Bosnian, five for "obnoxious." I discovered this in writing about the taksist who was so mean to me. Boki told me "bezobrazan" was the word I wanted. (It is translated as "insolent" in my dictionary and so is not included among the 15 "rude" words.
How about "prost," I wondered because that seems easier to pronounce and remember. No, he says, this is more like a "red neck," you would say. How about "los"? No, that's just bad.
