• "Starý ujo" (Old Uncle). In 1996, the future President of Slovakia Ivan Gašparovič called the then President of Slovakia Michal Kováč an old dick ("chuj" being a vulgar term derived from the Russian mat) - "Gusto, poď to dokončiť. Mňa tam volajú k tomu starému chujovi." (Gusto, come and finish it for me. They are calling me there to attend to that old dick.) He later claimed he said "starým ujom" (old uncle) instead.
