"shameless / dishonorable"

Nang and namoos are the twin pillars of Pashtunwali honor that have bled deep into Dari-speaking Afghan culture. Nang specifically means the sense of shame and honor that prevents you from doing dishonorable things — the internal alarm that fires when you're about to humiliate yourself or your family. 'Bi nang' means that alarm is broken.
