Etymology 1
Alternative spellings
|
屎 クソ
|
From Old Japanese,[1] in turn from Proto-Japonic *kuso.
Cognate with 臭い (kusai, “stinky, smelly”), 腐る (kusaru, “to rot, to become stinky”).[1]
Pronunciation
Noun
糞 • (kuso)
- (colloquial) feces, excrement
- (by extension) shit, crap, garbage, trash
- このノートパソコンはクソだ!
- Kono nōto pasokon wa kuso da!
- This laptop is shit!
Derived terms
Idioms
Interjection
糞 • (kuso)
- (often vulgar) shit, crap
- クソ!玄関の鍵をかけ忘れた!
- Kuso! Genkan no kagi o kake-wasureta!
- Shit! I forgot to lock the front door!
Usage notes
- This is not considered as profane as the English glosses. For instance, a child of five using the Japanese interjection kuso would be unremarkable, whereas it would be very socially inappropriate for a child of five to use the English interjection shit.
Prefix
糞 • (kuso-)
- (derogatory) pejorative prefix
- 糞爺い
- kusojijī

Suffix
