Bastard / little shit

4/5 Fighting words

aimed at a person, will start something

Literally

"Bastard (illegitimate child)"

Word-for-word — which is rarely what it means.

How to use it

Literally "born out of wedlock," so it drags family honor into it and lands hard. "Piç kurusu" is "little brat," oddly semi-affectionate for a mischievous kid, but "piç" at an adult is an attack. Also verbs: "piç etmek" is to botch/ruin something. Fighting words toward a person; keep it for the ruined-plan sense in polite-ish company.

Heard in the wild

Bütün işi piç etti.

He completely botched the whole thing.

Where it lands

Turkey-wide; informal
