vagina

Meaning & Usage

"cunt, pussy"

The vulgar Persian word for vagina — the root of an enormous profanity family. 'Kos' by itself is crude but it's the derivatives that make it devastating: koskesh (pimp), kos-e naneh (mother's cunt), kos nagu (don't talk shit), kos khol (vagina-brained/idiot). Understanding 'kos' unlocks half of Persian profanity.

Examples in the Wild

Rarely used standalone — almost always in compounds. 'Kos' is the building block, not the finished product. When used alone, it's either a crude anatomical reference or an exclamation of shock.

4/ 5

Severe. Severe. Not appropriate for professional settings or around strangers.

Cultural Context

In a culture where female sexuality is tightly controlled and rarely discussed publicly, 'kos' carries extraordinary taboo weight. It's not just a body part — it's a violation of the entire modesty system. The word appears in pre-Islamic Persian poetry (Rumi's less-quoted works include it), proving that Persians have always had a complicated relationship with prudishness.
