Kasti

‘a person who has a high-pitched voice, behaves in a childish or immature way; someone who acts like a child’

The word is a derivative (a shortened innovation) from the word castrato ‘a man who has undergone castration, formerly a singer, whose testicles were surgically removed just before puberty in order to preserve his high-pitched voice’.

The word was already listed in 2022 (see https://www.miejski.pl/slowo-kasti) and originates from the online gaming community. It is considered offensive.
