When to Use It

Cultural Context
A very literal, almost universally translatable compound ('ser' = head, 'gû' = shit). It's incredibly common in Sorani, often used by parents frustrated with their children's bad grades, or friends roasting each other for doing something exceptionally dumb. Because it doesn't invoke family honor, it rarely leads to violence.
