Petukh means: A man forced into a homosexual relationship and used as a sex slave or servant by another man, especially in the Russian prison and military systems.. It is military jargon and mostly appears in service contexts, war fiction, or among veterans and their families. It is generally derogatory or offensive; worth a quiet word about how it lands on the person being described.
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
