المعنى
Someone refused to share something.
خلفية ثقافية
Sharing is a core cultural value. Refusing to share food is often seen as a serious social slight, which is why this slang word is so frequently used to 'police' behavior. Many Georgian slang words have Russian roots but have been adapted to Georgian grammar. This reflects the complex linguistic history of the region. In the capital, slang changes rapidly. 'Mozhoshka' has remained popular for decades because it fills a specific niche that formal language doesn't cover. On Georgian social media, 'mozhoshka' is often used in memes about people who won't share links or 'sauce' for videos.

Not for elders
Even if your grandma won't give you a cookie, don't use this word!
