The word "get" has different meanings in modern Russian. Consider the most popular of them.
Key meanings of the term
In literary Russian, get is:
- representative of the ancient people of Thrace (not to be confused with the Goths!);
- race representative in the world of Mass Effect games;
- a synonym for the word "divorce" in Judaism, as well as a document confirming the end of a marriage.
What is get in terms of modern slang? This is barbarism - borrowing from the English language, similar to the word “okay” or “wines”. If “vin” means victory - over an adversary, an enemy in a game, himself, or over a situation, then “get” implies getting, getting. Most often we are talking about random and minor events on the Internet. For example, you can brag about “geth” in the chat if you entered a tag with a random value and got a good phrase.
Online Literature
As you know, there are a great many youth subcultures on the Internet , and many of them use their own slang words. Subcultures include the society of fiction writers - authors of fan fiction.
Fan fiction is an amateur literary work in prose or poetry. Such a work can consist of only a few lines, and can be a real, quite solid novel or even a series of novels.
What is geth in fan fiction? This is a term describing the nature of the relationship between fictional characters.
Geth, jen ... and something else
In fan fiction, three (conditionally four) types of relations between literary heroes are traditionally represented . The least popular type is jen, from the English word "general" - "general". These are completely harmless stories about everyday life or adventures, mostly devoid of any hint of romance. Jen can be read even to young children - unless, of course, the author of the fanfiction does not describe violence in his creation and does not create an atmosphere in it that depresses the psyche (such techniques are characteristic of the genre of horror (horror)).
Let us consider in more detail what a get is in comparison with a gen. In this case, the origin of the term goes back to the English word “heterosexual” - “heterosexual”. This, respectively, is about the traditional relationship between a man and a woman. However, geth in fan fiction can be quite “soft” and contain only a hint of romantic feelings.
The opposite of geta is slash (slash), as well as femlash (femslash). Fanfiction of these varieties describes same-sex relationships.
It is noteworthy that it is in fan fiction that the term is most often encountered, so if you are interested in what a get is, you most likely thought about reading an amateur work.
