Significado
To be an unpleasant or annoying person.
Contexto cultural
In Iran, being 'Khosh-roo' (pleasant-faced) is a highly regarded virtue. 'Goosht-e talkh' is the direct opposite and is seen as a failure to respect the social comfort of others. Persian uses many food metaphors for personality. 'Shirin' (sweet) is for nice people, 'Goosht-e talkh' (bitter meat) for mean people, and 'Namak' (salt) for funny/charming people.
Use it for 'Vibe'
Think of it as describing someone's 'vibe' rather than just their actions.
Don't use for food
If your food is bitter, just say 'talkh'. Using 'goosht-e talkh' for a steak will confuse people.
