Usage notes

The coordinate term "ана́логов нет" ("has no equivalents" / "is unmatched") has been often used on the Russian TV to describe the Russian technology that is allegedly superior to the Western technology. Ironically, it happens to sound like "ана́ло-говне́т" ("anal shitter"), so the humorous pun "аналоговнет" was created. The pun may be considered offensively Russophobic by nationalist Russians.
