Servít je vůl (Servít is an asshole, literally Servít is an ox; pronounced [ˈsɛrviːt ˈvuːl]) is a Czech phrase which became famous as a graffiti. It started to appear in the 1960s as a students' joke in restrooms of bars in Prague. Later, however, it became a part of popular culture and has spread around the world, often in modified wording.

Background

The original inspiration for this phrase is believed to be ex-professor Radim Servít of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU). He taught elasticity and strength of materials in the 1960s and was infamous for his extensive rigour in exams.[1]

Later accounts claim the phrase refers to a different person of the same name.[2]

Time progression and spread

Students started writing the words Servít je vůl on the walls of public restrooms in bars nearby the CTU campus. Thanks to the political mood in the 1960s Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, this graffiti has gradually spread out of Prague, the country and Europe through students and their voices.[3] These graffiti have prevailed for generations all around the world.

Some of the confirmed locations where this graffiti has been found include:

As time progressed, various new versions of the phrase were created, for example: Doopravdy nejsem vůl, Servít (I'm really not an asshole, Servít), Všichni jste volové! Servít (You are all assholes! Servít), Promiň Servíte jsou i větší volové (Sorry Servít, there are bigger assholes than you) and so on.

Radim Servít (1921–1984) vyučoval na katedře mechaniky inženýrského stavitelství ČVUT pružnost a plasticitu. Je autorem učebnic a skript. Příčina jeho masivní negativní démonizace leží údajně na počátku Servítovy učitelské kariéry, kdy jako asistent u profesora Václava Daška praktikoval "lstivý předstupeň" – studenti, pokud se chtěli dostat ke zkoušce k Daškovi, museli absolvovat "trapné zkoušení" z chytáků a špeků u Servíta. Nápis Servít je vůl byl nalezen na celém světě, zejména na univerzitních záchodech a významných stavbách, které realizovali jeho žáci. Poté zlidověl."

Příslušníci mé generace jistě vzpomínají, jak byly záchodky po Praze (a nejen po ní, nýbrž po celé bývalé ČSSR a prý porůznu po světě) jednu dobu popsány heslem: "Servít je vůl." Týkalo se předního fyziologa, který zřejmě pohodlným medikům svými požadavky ztrpčoval život, proto ta bezmocná odplata."

Un cubo perfetto è un qualsiasi numero naturale la cui radice cubica corrisponde ad un numero intero. y=x³, per valori interi 1≤x≤25. In aritmetica e algebra, il cubo di un numero n è la sua terza potenza, cioè il risultato della moltiplicazione del numero per sé stesso tre volte: n3 = n × n × n. Si tratta anche della formula per calcolare il volume di un cubo il cui lato ha una lunghezza pari a n. Da qui il nome. La funzione inversa di trovare il numero il cui cubo è n è...
