Etymology 1

edit
Kanji in this term
糞
くそ
Hyōgai
kun'yomi
Alternative spelling
屎

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

edit

Noun

edit

糞(くそ) • (kuso) 

  1. (colloquial) feces, excrement

    Kuso! Genkan no kagi o kake-wasureta!
    Shit! I forgot to lock the front door!
Usage notes
edit
  • 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

edit

  1. (derogatory) pejorative prefix
    糞(くそ)爺(じじ)い

Usage notes
edit
  • This noun specifically refers to the excrement of non-human animals; for human excrement, the term 大便 (daiben) is used.
  • This term may be spelled as フン due to the complexity of the kanji 糞.
