Did you know?
- While জারজ is the literal term for 'bastard', Bengalis more commonly use হারামজাদা, which literally means 'born of the forbidden'.
- In many Bengali dialects, the insult হারামজাদা is often used as a generic term of frustration toward a situation or an inanimate object, rather than a specific person's parentage.
- The common alternative হারামজাদা derives from the Arabic word haram, which can mean both 'forbidden' and 'sacred'.
