Meaning & Usage
01
"bastard / illegitimate / mistake child"
The euphemistic way of saying someone was born from their mother's 'mistake' — meaning an extramarital affair or premarital sex. The 'mistake' is pregnancy outside of marriage, and the child is the living evidence of that mistake. Cruder than 'haramzada' (born of sin) in some ways because it's more specific and personal.
