What $#!± should I not say in Persian?

Ask An Iranian

What are the first words you learn when learning another language? It's always the same of course! You learn how to ask if the meat is halal, if the toilets have a botty-hose, and of course, the names of various four-legged animals. After you've impressed any newly-found foreign friends with the names of four-legged animals in their language, they'll likely proceed to teach you more words. Don't be confused though when they follow-up by telling you to never use any of them. In a similar vein, this episode of the Ask An Iranian Podcast is exactly that, in that, we hope you'll never use any of the Persian insults that we teach you.

Should the suggestion of that have aroused your curiosity, then tune in to enjoy the veritable smorgasbord of Persian insults, innuendos and inappropriate words. Also within this episode, we read out contributions from our beloved listeners who kindly helped us out in helping you get familiar with the best, the worst and the weirdest Farsi cuss words. So, if you want to know what you should not say to an Iranian, be sure to check this episode out.
