dirty / filthy

01

"dirty / filthy / scummy"

Filthy — covering both physical dirtiness and moral corruption. In Arabic, 'wisikh' carries a heavier moral weight than the English 'dirty' because Islamic culture ties physical cleanliness to spiritual purity. Calling someone wisikh implies they've failed at a basic religious duty: keeping themselves clean for prayer. A wisikh person is ritually contaminated.

يا وسخ، بتعمل إيه هنا؟ (Ya wisikh, bita'mel eih hina? - You filthy one, what are you doing here?) — Confronting someone unwelcome.
