Meaning & Usage
01
"pig / filthy animal"
Pig is the ultimate impure animal in Islam — haram to eat, haram to touch, haram to keep. Calling someone khook says they are so filthy and forbidden that even being near them contaminates you. It hits different than 'dog' because pigs aren't even part of daily Afghan life; the animal itself is almost mythologically disgusting.
Examples in the Wild
مثل خوک غذا میخوری. (Misle khook ghaza mekhori. - You eat like a pig.) — Said to someone with disgusting table manners.
