Meaning & Usage
01
"uncultured, uncivilized, crass"
Lacking 'farhang' — culture, education, refinement. In a civilization that invented the word 'paradise' and gave the world Rumi and Hafez, calling someone 'bi farhang' is saying they've failed to participate in humanity's highest achievements. It attacks someone's intellectual and aesthetic capacities simultaneously.
