Russian term or phrase: дринь
I am almost done with the unreadable Russian film script about which I have posted some other questions in the past days.

One of the fragments that I couldn't solve yet is this:

- Ты же мне не помешаешь делать то, что я захочу?
- Какая же ты д**нь!

(* accounts for a missing letter).
The words looks a bit like дринь, but this doesn't exist as you know...

Thanks for your guesses!
