"ill-bred, badly raised, uncouth"

Someone who wasn't raised properly — lacking 'tarbiat' (upbringing, discipline, education). This insult is clever because it attacks the parents as much as the target: if you're 'bi tarbiat,' your family failed to civilize you. It's a two-for-one insult.

'In bache kheili bi tarbiat-e, mādaresh chikar mikoneh?' — this child is so badly raised, what is his mother doing? The mother-blaming is the quiet part said loud.
