Meaning & Usage
01
"bighead / arrogant prick"
Someone whose head has swollen with self-importance. Not about intelligence (that would be a compliment) but about ego — someone who thinks they're better, smarter, richer, or more important than they are. Afghan culture values humility, especially in public. A kalla ganda violates this by being visibly proud.
