"pig / filthy pig / swine"

The pig — the single most haram animal in Islam. In a culture where pork is so forbidden that many Arabs have never seen a live pig, calling someone khinzeer invokes pure Quranic disgust. The Quran mentions pigs four times, always as forbidden, always as impure. The insult says someone is so filthy and haram that they embody the animal God specifically told humanity to avoid.

يا خنزير! (Ya khinzeer! - You pig!) — Expressing deep moral revulsion at someone's behavior.
