If you’ve played Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, then you know that the game has a particular love of a single, solitary cuss: maláka. It means something between “jerk” and “arsehole,” and it apparently fits in nearly any situation. And now there’s a supercut to show off the plenitude of the curse word.
There might be some spoilers in this video depending on what you consider a spoiler. You’re warned!
YouTuber user YouKnowWho has assembled a veritable smorgasborg of Kassandra and other characters yelling the word at each other, and it’s actually surprising how many use cases there are for it.
Additionally, while I don’t know any Greek, ancient or otherwise, it is neat to pick up the tenses of “maláka” simply through watching all the ways that it gets used.

Are Greek-Americans not a thing?
Yeah, just not with the same cultural impact on the host nation as Greek Australians.
The closest translation to maláka is wanker. Being a Greek speaker it’s funny to hear in the game but there are times it doesn’t quite fit into the context
I always liked Neket Iadet from Origins.
It’s good, but it’s no “Taffer”.
Had a Greek boss, owned a fruit shop and no kidding, his brother’s name who also worked there was named Con….he didn’t look like Con the fruiterer though ????
Heard Malaka many times on a daily basis
