Meaning & Usage
01
"dishonorable, scumbag"
'Nāmus' is one of Persian's most loaded concepts — it means honor, specifically family honor tied to female relatives' chastity and reputation. 'Bi nāmus' (without nāmus) is therefore one of the worst things you can call someone: a man who has failed to protect his family's honor, or worse, doesn't care about it.
Examples in the Wild
Directed at someone who's done something deeply unethical, especially related to betraying trust or disrespecting family. 'Bi nāmus' is character assassination in two words.
