Useless person

Informal and slightly derogatory for someone incompetent.

🌍

문화적 배경

In Kolkata, 'Ledu' is often used with a sense of 'Ami-tumi' (intimacy). It’s a sign that you are close enough to someone to insult them without consequences. On platforms like YouTube and Discord, 'Ledu' is the go-to word for 'Noob'. It has replaced more traditional insults in the digital age. In modern Bengali startups, young bosses might use 'Ledu' jokingly with employees of the same age, but it's a risky 'cool boss' move. The 'Ledu' is usually the person who is made to stand as the goalkeeper because they can't run or kick the ball properly.
