01

"fuck this luck, damn my luck"

A complete expression of existential frustration — literally shitting on one's own luck/fortune. It's the Persian equivalent of 'just my fucking luck,' expressed with characteristic scatological directness. The phrase combines 'ridan' (to shit) with the fatalism that pervades Persian culture.

'Ridam be in shāns, bāz ham bārāne!' — I shit on this luck, it's raining again! Said when misfortune feels personal and persistent.
