Meaning & Usage
01
"son of a bitch times sixty / absolute bastard"
Why be the son of one dog when you can be the son of sixty? This is Arabic's love of numerical hyperbole applied to insults. The 'sixty' has no specific meaning — it's just a large number used for emphasis (like 'alf' / thousand). Your lineage isn't just impure, it's sixty generations of impurity. It's the escalation of 'ibn el kalb' taken to its mathematical extreme.
