    According to Urban Dictionary it means the following: "Hungarians, whose ancestors arrived like barbarian invadors from Central Asia in Transylvania and Panonia, already peopled by Romanians, are called by the term "BOZGOR," that means countryless, one without a homeland."

    Did you know the word or why were you shocked? And what happens there, that is so weird? Make a thread about it.

    Yes, it is what Romanians say, but I wonder from what language it really is. It is not a Romanian word and is thought to be Hungarian.

    Romanian friend told me the same.
    It's an insult for Magyars, which means "without country" or "without ethnicity".

    From the Hungarian word: "bazdmeg", means: "fuck you". New word in the Romanian language from the 18-19th century.

    I don`t know the origins but its a very derogatory term and it should be forbidden by law in Romania. Johanis is already considering to implement this law next year because one of his main goals is a reconciliation of all ethnicities living in Romania

    Why do you support such totalitarianism?

    I support Klaus Johanis, not totaliarianism. To finally push Romania in the right direction the eternal ethnical struggles have to end.
    The hatchet has to be finally buried. At least to a certain degree.
