Where does cyka blyat come from?

While there is no exact English translation, the Russian phrase cyka blyat (сука блять in the Russian alphabet) is roughly equivalent to the English “fucking shit” or “bitch whore.”

Cyka means “bitch” while blyat is a multifunctional vulgarity along the lines of “shit” or “fuck.” Together, cyka blyat is used to express uncontrollable anger, similar to dropping a series of F-bombs in English.

Cyka blyat spread online thanks to the 2012 video game Counter Strike: Global Offensive, which has a large Russian playerbase. Swearing in video games is common practice, and CS:GO allows players from many countries to play on the same game servers. CS:GO also relies heavily on teamwork and communication, so a Russian player who refuses to speak English (the leading language) might quickly lose. That unfortunate player might then proceed to take out their frustrations on teammates in native naughtiness: Cyka blyat!

The banter became increasingly obscene going into The Caches showmatch between talent and players representing Australia and the U.K. Some chanted "fuck you Stewie," targeting SK Gaming's Jake "Stewie2k" Yip—a little explicit, but nothing beyond the pale for crowd chants in most sports. Some did go a little too far, however, like when fans chanted "cyka blyat"...
