意味
To lose all sense of shame or modesty; to become shameless.
文化的背景
In rural North India, this phrase is often used by elders to scold younger generations who disregard traditional values or respect. Villains in 70s and 80s Bollywood movies were often described with this idiom to highlight their absolute lack of humanity. Urdu poets often use 'Aankh ka paani' as a metaphor for 'Ghairat' (honor/self-respect). Its loss is seen as the ultimate tragedy. While rare in emails, it is used in 'water-cooler' gossip to describe unethical bosses or colleagues who take credit for others' work.
High Insult Potential
This is a very strong insult. Use it only when you are prepared for a serious confrontation.
Use with 'Jaise'
Using 'जैसे' (as if) makes it sound more descriptive and less like a direct attack: 'वह ऐसे बात कर रहा था जैसे उसकी आँख का पानी मर गया हो।'
