خرا (Khara)

“bitch / whore / slut”

A highly offensive term for a woman, implying she is a prostitute or extremely promiscuous.

“my dick / fuck off / I don't care”

The Arabic word for penis in its possessive form — 'my dick.' Functions identically to 'dick' in English: anatomical term, exclamation of frustration, and dismissal all in one. 'Zubbi feek' (my dick in you) is the standard Levantine escalation. On its own, 'zubbi!' is what you shout when you stub your toe or your team concedes a goal.

“motherfucker / fuck you”

Considered one of the most offensive Arabic swear words. It directly attacks a person's mother, which is the ultimate violation of family honor.

“fucker / dickhead / asshole”

From the root 'n-y-k' (to fuck), 'mnayyak' is the active participle — 'one who fucks' — but used as a general-purpose insult meaning 'asshole' or 'fucker.' Despite its sexual etymology, it's used so broadly in Levantine Arabic that it's become almost a generic intensifier. 'El mnayyak dah' (this fucker) can refer to a broken pipe, a bad boss, or a traffic jam.

“kiss my ass”

A vulgar phrase of strong dismissal and disrespect.

“son of a whore / motherfucker”

Your mother has been fucked — not by your father through marriage, but indiscriminately. 'Metnaaka' is the feminine passive participle of 'naak' (to fuck), so it literally means 'a woman who has been fucked.' The insult says your mother's defining characteristic is having been sexually used.

“cunt / pussy”

The standalone word for vagina in vulgar Arabic. While 'kus ummak' and 'kess ikhtak' are already in the seed file, the word 'kuss' alone functions as both an anatomical term and a powerful exclamation. Shouting 'kuss!' alone in Arabic is like shouting 'cunt!' in British English — maximally shocking as a standalone.

“pimp / scumbag / bastard”

An insult implying a man is a pimp, or worse, someone who pimps out his own female relatives (a cuckold with no honor).
