Britovi

Britovi refers to a colloquial and often derogatory term used in some parts of Eastern Europe, particularly in Russia and Ukraine, to describe people from Britain or the United Kingdom. The word is derived from the Russian word for Britain, "Britaniya," with the addition of a pejorative suffix.

The usage of "britovi" is generally considered impolite and can carry negative connotations, sometimes associated with stereotypes. It is not a term used by British people themselves to describe their nationality, nor is it a formal or neutral descriptor.

The term is most commonly encountered in informal spoken language or in contexts where a degree of anti-British sentiment might be present. While some individuals might use it without intending offense, it is widely recognized as a derogatory label. Alternative, neutral terms for people from the UK include "britantsy" (Russian) or simply referring to their specific nationality, such as English, Scottish, Welsh, or Northern Irish.
