The Accused Inmate shares one I’ve never heard before: ‘Jisski maa ko chodo wohi tumko baap bolega’—literally, ‘He, whose mother is violated by you, will call you his father’; metaphorically, ‘Don’t be a pushover’. There are ‘madarchod’, ‘behenchod’, ‘haramzada’; familiar in English too, as ‘motherfucker’, ‘sisterfucker’, (loosely) ‘bastard’. And there’s the classic randi, slut, whore, that have universal appeal.
