Russian term or phrase: не по хер
В основном, как бы, те, кого затянули в нашей группе, насколько я знаю, у них уже шприцы всегда есть свои, вот, со шприцами приходят.
И: Начинающие, то есть еще, да?
Р: Да.
И: То есть всего еще боятся.
Р: Да.
И: Все еще не по хер, да?
Р: Да. То есть они еще как-то остерегаются этого, вот боятся, так, сказать.

I gather this is an alternative to хуй, but the meaning is not transparent to me here.

agree  Mikhail Kropotov: i have to disagree with хер=crap! хер is rather high up there on the Russian scale of curse words
16 hrs
  -> I meant that "crap" is euphemism for "shit", just like "хер" is for "хуй"
agree  Vladimir Lioukaikine (X): They do care, right. They haven't got this "I don't give a fuck" attitude yet.
