India — Phrase #8

😤#8 Exclamation

Saala!

/saːlaː/
Literal: Brother-in-law (ironic)
Feels like: Calling someone your "brother-in-law" implies you've slept with their sister. The origin is deeply offensive, but usage has been so diluted that most people use it as casual "damn" without thinking about the etymology
