No, I think it is spelt "harami".

Lets see if Fluffy will do the translation. I have a good idea of what it means. And believe me it wasn't the mark of respect which she claimed to JKL.

I sort of thought not. And I wasn't even a member there.

Seriously how did you manage so much 'popularity' without even being a member? cyclops

Yeah, I know what it means: b@stard.

What, a SA man of SA origin - treated like that?

Imagine what awaits a Tahitian man of mixed origins called "BigDazza" . . . .

It's a natural talent.

Of course the funny part is that the first forummer I got to know well on C4 was Peridot, a Pakstani woman of Pakistani origin.

Actually I suspect it means more than that.

Not quite correct.

by JKLever Mon 08 Oct 2007, 14:23

I once saw a post on PP slating C4 as being used by a bunch of racists. (kind of ironic given how many people from different countries used it)

Then I saw the topic below that was saying how great it was that the Bigley bloke had been decapitated.

Noice...

I think Batfink got the translation more or less right. It's hardly the worst insult.

It agrees that "harami" / "haramzada" means bastard.

At the time it was said that it meant the biggest [email]b@stard[/email] of all the [email]b@stards[/email].

I kinda preferred that definition.

Ba$tard is correct.

I don't know what filo intended, but in terms of present usage in India (not Pakistan), my experience is that it is a term used mostly with malice unintended, in jest many times. However, it can be 'ramped up' occasionally.

Something like, in my experience, the use of the word 'swine' in English

by The One Mon 08 Oct 2007, 15:50

or the word bastard in ozzie

Wow, non-cricket discussion in a cricket thread on flaming bails, surprise, surprise! He is telling lies furriner, I've called him no such thing on any forum, tell him to produce the evidence. Laughing

Good day for Pakistan, let's see how are batsmen get on tomorrow.

Don't get all narky about this place going off topic, unless you've always stayed on topic. He didn't say anything of the sort, he said that was his nickname on there. Tell him, why don't you tell him, oh you already have - funnily enough conversations you have on a text forum usually stay 'in the air' for quite a bit unlike speech.
