cutter Explanation: I don't know the prison slang term for "self-mutilation", but in teenage crowd, a "cutter" is often used. See the excerpt below. "I use the term "cutters" with reservations. self-injury has many forms... cutting, biting, hair-pulling (trichotillomania, i believe), abrading, burning, hitting, pretty much anything you can think of that causes pain and/or bodily damage. and it can be considered degrading to call us "cutters". "self-mutilation", too, has some nasty overtones and a lot of us dislike "self-harm"... the accepted term is self-injury. but i choose to use cutters here. it seems to have become our slang term for ourselves, much like black people can call each other "niggers" (but gods help the white fool who tries it)."

Вы уверены, что "мастырщик" относится именно к желанию нанести себе увечье? Explanation: Во всяком случае, Лингво реагирует на "мастырку" таким образом: joint, marijuana cigarette, reefer. Может, он забойщиком был? Удачи! Олег |

a man using an ace, bammy, bomber, burnie, etc. Explanation: Sorry to all, I do believe into rich expreience of the colonel Yu.P.Dubyagin, who is known as one of the authors of "Criminal Slang Dictionary". He treats МАСТЫРКА as косяк, штакет, файка дурная, фигарка, уголек, etc. In usual language this is an equivalent to marijuana, and the man "used to use it" is namely the мастырщик. Criminal slang synonyms of мастырка are (in addition to those above) climb, doobie, gage butt, gagngster, giggle smoke, goofy butt, greefer, gyvestick, jay, etc. (some 20 additional). Good lick!!!
