Meaning & Usage
01
"may you be buried / drop dead"
Wishing someone into their grave with dirt already piled on top. It skips past the dying part and goes straight to burial — you're so dead to me that I'm already imagining the funeral. Related to 'khak bar saret' (dirt on your head) but more final because it specifies the grave rather than just the head.
Examples in the Wild
خاک بر گورت، این چه کاری بود که کردی! (Khak bar gooret, in che kaari bood ke kardi! - Dirt on your grave, what have you done!) — Reaction to devastating news or a terrible action.
