Otseni

Translator's comment

The Russian word "otseni" is the closest English slang word to "check this out" or "check it out" from the late 1980s and mid-1990s used by teenagers and criminals (blatnoi yazik) on the streets of the U.S.S.R. and currently the 15 C.I.S. countries (post Soviet republics).
