the worst Explanation: I wasn't know that you are the worst! (The word صياعة here in this conext means that he has the opposite characteristics of the reader or the decent person). The opposite of المهذب is الرذيل which means the worst! https://www.almaany.com/en/dict/ar-en/الرَّذيل/ https://www.almaany.com/en/thes/ar-en/?lang_name=ar-en&servi... |

Bum and impolitness Explanation: صياعه او صايع means someone who hangs around on the street wasting time, also the one who has no boundries and doing weird and inaproppriate stuff as the context implies the negative meaning of this word. You might use the words bum or lousy to descripe this person While داشر means impolite and bad person |

hooliganism and vagrancy Explanation: If you want a literal translation, any of the synonyms of vagrancy can work; think how someone who doesn't work or study and just goes out and parties or roams the street all day/night would be described in English. However, I would actually translate صاحب صياعة ودشرة as one unit and render it: a hooligan and vagrant, or a vagabond and bum, or a party animal and hooligan, or any combination of synonyms of those words; best would be one that involves vagrant or similar as دشرة denotes wandering without a purpose. |
