ethnic slur for Russians, Poles, Lithuanians, Belarusians, Ukrainians, former member countries of the Soviet Union, Moldavians, Bulgarians, Romanians and Albanians, as originated by a traditional Jewish ethnic joke, popularised by Sacha Baron Cohen. This ethnic slur does not apply to former Yugoslav nations, Slovaks, Czechs, Hungarians, Estonians and Sorbs. In a British court, a Polish engineer won a court case against his officemates for calling him Borat, citing that no Brit (or many other Western Europeans) would call any Central and Eastern European Borat.
British office worker: Hello, Borat
Polish co-worker: Sod off!
