Meaning & Usage
01
"disgrace / scandal / you're a disgrace"
Both a noun (a scandal) and an exclamation ('what a disgrace!'). When directed at a person — 'inta fadeeha' — it means 'you are a walking scandal, your mere existence embarrasses everyone associated with you.' The word comes from 'fadaha' (to expose/reveal), so a fadeeha is something shameful that has been made public. The exposure is part of the horror.
