Persian slangs with ‘donkey’
Khar خر means donkey in Persian and it’s used in some interesting slangs to mean ‘too much of something’. Here are some examples:
Kharpoul خرپول is made up of ‘khar’ خر meaning ‘donkey’ and ‘poul’ پول meaning ‘money’. It means ‘filthy rich’.
Kharshaans خرشانس is khar خر + shaans شانس (luck) and it means ‘lucky as hell’.
Kharkhoun خرخون is khar خر + khoun خون (reader) which means ‘bookworm, nerd’. Someone who spends all their time studying to get the perfect marks.
Kharkeif خرکیف is khar + keif کیف (joy) and means ‘overjoyed, over the moon’.
All of these terms are slang and may come across as slightly offensive/derogatory. If you call someone ‘kharkhoun’ you’re definitely not complimenting their studious nature.
But you can use kharkeif to refer to yourself if you’re overjoyed about something.
Just mind that these words shouldn’t be used in formal and polite settings or people would think you’re being rude and disrespectful.
You can use them freely with friends and family however.
* if you tell someone ‘kheili khari’ خیلی خری (you’re so donkey!) you’re calling them a dumbass. It could be really insulting or just a friendly jibe, depending on the tone and your relationship.
