I'm intrigued, what's заshitано?


A portmanteau of Russian "засчитано" ("credited", "taken into account", "check!") and English "shit".

The word is a joke and there is no well-defined meaning. I've seen it used as both "it counts but it's shitty" and as a way to give credit for a failure.

Surely that's not the best example, but it's a word I've remembered.
