Meaning & Usage
01
"spineless, dishonorable, coward"
'Gheirat' is the emotional component of honor — the protective jealousy a man is expected to feel about his family, particularly female relatives. 'Bi gheirat' means lacking this quality: a man who doesn't defend his family, doesn't react to disrespect, doesn't care. It questions someone's fundamental masculinity and moral character.
Examples in the Wild
Deployed when a man fails to stand up for his family or partner. 'Bi gheirat, zant-o doost-esh dāre mizane va to hich nemikonī' — you spineless coward, his friend hits your wife and you do nothing.
