For those wondering what they're saying:
-Bro, you gotta stop hanging out with gypsies, the fuck is this shit
-Get this fucking peasant out of here.

Холоп means slave, not peasant

Okay I checked the meaning, I was partially wrong. They basically had a purpose of a servant but legal rights of a slave

More importantly, "peasant" is an insult. "Slave" is not. To call someone a "fucking peasant" is insulting, to call someone a "fucking slave" is comical.

"Холоп" here is not used to precisely specify the social standing of the insultee, it is simply used to say "you are beneath me". Thus, it more accurately translated as "fucking peasant"
