01
"spineless / dishonorable coward"
Ghairat is the masculine duty to protect your family's honor, especially female relatives, with your life if necessary. Calling someone bi ghairat means they would stand by and watch their sister or wife be dishonored without lifting a finger. It's not just 'coward' — it's a declaration that you are less than a man, less than human.
