Sorry, dude, but i think ^Peter is right.
Here, check this out:http://web.archive.org/web/200009010713 ... chool.html
It says that "Jeesh" is Arabic from "Jaish". But the Russian explanation does make sense. Sorta.

Well, using words like 'kuso' would surprise not so many of my friendly-geeky friends, as they happen to be if not anime fans, then in quite some knowledge of Japanese. So no help there, and I'd come across a bit as harsh, I guess. But there are other words that work, just... Not this one particularly.
We should have no regrets. ... The past is finished. There is nothing to be gained by going over it. Whatever it gave us in the experiences it brought us was something we had to know.

I have just gotten into the Ender series and it is definitely one that draws you in quick. While looking through all of these posts, I found the topic of a Battle School slang to be especially interesting. It just adds so much more meaning to the story to know what this lingo actually means and where it comes from. From looking at all the posts, the slang has origins in English, Japanese, Arabic, Swahili, Russian, Latin, and unknown. This really shows how integrated the IF is concerning their recruits from around the world. These countries have not been known for cooperation throughout history. The only way this slang could be imbedded in the Battle School is to have an extremely diverse population at the school. The IF only takes the best of the best from the entire world regardless of their origins and for them to believe that Ender was the only chance they had speaks volumes on his abilities.

The recently released Authorized Ender Companion has a super comprehensive list of Battle School slang. Over 60 terms with meanings and linguistic origins.

That's exactly how I discovered this amazing forum. I was lonely, not being able to share my love of Ender's Game because not everyone I know has read it and those who do (we read for English class) don't like it.

I pride myself on my Ender fandom. Above all. And there's a lot of people that just don't exemplify what an Ender fan should be.

Is what I do. You'll get used to it, I'm sure.
That wasn't directly aimed at anyone though. Guilty conscience?
w/e. Doesn't matter. What was this thread? slang and al? Woohoo. Hail Ender.
