wife-selling pimp Explanation: This is the translation for a truly offensive curse-word in Turkish which I believe has no exact counterpart in English. My apologies to Proz community for the explicit translation. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 56 mins (2013-11-14 17:04:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It appears to have an Arabic origin which explains why it would be uttered in Adana but also is known as a slang expression in Central Anatolia. I'm sure the use of this word by the Adana Governor has led a lot of people to research the history (Ottoman) of a word that they're probably hearing for the first time. |
